Proposal of a new law on forced labor of Uyghurs

Representatives of both parties in the United States cooperatively presented a new legislative proposal, aimed at combating the exploitation of Uyghurs in East Turkistan for forced labor, protecting the global supply chain.
American actors Jennifer Wexton and Carlos A.Jimenez is from the two parties, to present a new legislative proposal on forced labor of Uyghurs, which aims to combat the exploitation of Uyghurs in East Turkistan for forced labor, and to protect the global supply chain.
The law emphasizes transparency and accountability, forcing publicly traded companies to thoroughly review, reveal possible links that their products may be related to forced labor practices in East Turkistan.
It is known that millions of Uyghurs are currently subjected to forced labor as slaves in East Turkistan, which causes serious concerns about the safety of goods imported from East Turkistan, ranging from clothing to technology products.
"More research is needed"
"The American people deserve to know if the clothes they wear or the technology they use every day were produced using forced labor," said Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton, stressing the importance of removing products made from the exploitation of forced labor from the shelves of American stores. She also stressed the need for greater scrutiny of goods obtained from mass forced labor in China, which includes the detention of millions of Uyghurs and other ethnic groups.
The Uyghur forced labor disclosure law will direct the Securities and Exchange Commission to establish rules requiring publicly traded companies to publish annual reports containing vital information about all imported goods supplied from East Turkistan. This information includes details about business activity, gross income, net profit, Future import plans and whether goods are produced in forced labor camps.
The proposed law is based on the Uyghur law on the Prevention of forced labor, which was implemented in June of the previous year, which further intensified the examination of supply chains associated with products from East Turkistan. The import of goods and materials produced through forced labor has been illegal in the United States since 1930, but the lack of transparency in East Turkistan has made it difficult to effectively audit supply chains.
The bipartisan effort represents an important step in holding companies accountable and protecting American consumers from unknowingly supporting forced labor practices.
