Report: Forced labor is getting worse in East Turkistan

Senior researcher Dr. Adrian Zenz released a new report on February 13, stressing that the crime of forced labor in East Turkistan is still ongoing.

Dr. Adrian Zenz, senior researcher at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, who has published several authoritative reports on China's genocide in East Turkistan, February 13, "Forced Labor in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region: An Assessment of Ongoing Forced Labor Transfers in 2023 and Early 2024." published a report titled

The report has confirmed China's crimes with data, and revealed that the Chinese regime continues forced labor under the so-called "employment of surplus labor force", "poverty relief", and the recent increase in forced labor in East Turkistan compared to the previous year. It is said that it will continue until at least 2025.

The report revealed that the Chinese regime deported the East Turkistan people to Chinese provinces in 2023 under the name of "advanced employment." It aims to significantly expand the scale of forced labor under various names and increase the effort of deporting East Turkistan people to Chinese provinces by 38%. As a result, the crime of deporting Chinese Uyghurs to other countries has reached the highest level since 2010.

According to the report, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited East Turkistan in August 2023. In the process, Xi Jinping's plan to connect the eastern provinces of China with East Turkistan needs to transfer labor forces across provinces, and the goal of this is to guide Uyghurs to find jobs in China. It is said that he claimed to strengthen the integration of ethnic groups.

As part of the genocide in East Turkistan, China has greatly increased detention in concentration camps and prisons. On the other hand, the labor unions organized by the Chinese regime have placed Chinese companies in the towns and villages of East Turkistan under the name of "liberation from poverty" and "pre-employment". They are forcing the people into forced labor by various means. In terms of forcing Uyghurs into forced labor and expanding the scope of forced labor, Chinese trade unions have played a special role. Currently, these organizations directly communicate with Chinese companies and sell Uyghur youth to Chinese companies at cheap prices. At the same time, they are trying to make East Turkistan completely Chinese by attracting Chinese immigrants from Chinese provinces to East Turkistan, attracting them with offers such as high wages, free houses, and free land.
