Five trucks departed from Kashgar towards Pakistan.

Truck transportation activities between China and Pakistan have started for the first time. Five trucks loaded with forced labor-produced goods such as walnuts, steel pipes, and textiles departed Kashgar for Pakistan.
The vehicles leaving from East Turkistan (Xinjiang) to Pakistan are carrying goods produced through forced labor. This marks the first truck transportation activity between China and Pakistan.
China News Agency Xinhua reported that five trucks bearing the TIR company's brands and carrying products of "forced labor" production, such as walnuts, steel pipes, and textiles, set off for Pakistan from the city of Kashgar in East Turkistan under Chinese control on Tuesday.
Opening a new international logistics route
This is the first truck transport activity between China and Pakistan since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1951. With this move, the Chinese regime increases the number of countries where East Turkistan carries out cross-border transport while opening a new international logistics route along the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
Cheng Tao, deputy director of the so-called "Xinjiang Kashgar Customs Management", mentioned that with the initiation of truck transportation between China and Pakistan, companies will benefit from favorable customs procedures to a greater extent. This will facilitate trade, enhance cargo transportation efficiency, reduce transport time, and lower costs.
TIR is an international customs transit system that helps save time and money for transport operators and customs officials when transporting goods across borders. China joined the TIR Convention in July 2016 in order to simplify and make TIR administrative procedures more convenient.
The trucks carry forced labor-produced goods
Observers pointed out that the Chinese regime uses the resources of East Turkistan entirely for its own interests and does not provide any benefits to the indigenous people who are the noble owners of these resources. The regime is currently working to expand the utilization of East Turkistan's resources and export forced labor-produced goods through initiatives such as this truck transportation. In addition to the ongoing genocide in East Turkistan, the invaders who exploit the resources of the region also use these trucking activities to bring forced labor products to the international market.
However, in December 2021, the US Congress passed a law that prohibits the import of goods produced through the forced labor of Uyghur Turks living in East Turkistan and other ethnic and religious groups into the United States. The Washington administration made decisions to sanction businesses that were subject to the allegations and companies that worked with them.
Beijing government spokesmen described the forced labor allegations as "lies fabricated by anti-China forces" and argued that the country's human rights situation was trying to distort the truth.
According to a report from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), Uyghur Muslims are used as forced labor in supplying goods to more than 100 countries and 83 well-known brands.
