China is more easily distributing forced labor products produced in occupied East Turkistan to European and Asian countries via integrated road, rail, and air transport routes.
According to a report in the so-called "Xinjiang Daily," Gorgas Customs announced on May 8 that a China-Europe (Central Asia) freight train carrying more than 1,000 international mail parcels departed from the Gorgas Railway Border Crossing. It noted that it would eventually arrive at the Birundai Station in Kazakhstan, marking the first time that international mail parcels from East Turkistan had been shipped across the border on a China-Europe (Central Asia) freight train.
The freight train was primarily loaded with international mail parcels such as clothing, electronic products, and daily necessities, and the entire journey is expected to take approximately two to three days. These parcels will then be distributed to more than 20 countries in Europe. The report highlighted that international mail transport in Urumqi is fully covered by road, rail, and air transport routes.
According to information, the number of China-Europe (Central Asia) freight trains that passed through the Qorgas border crossing during the first quarter of this year reached 2,375, a 28.5% increase compared to the same period last year, with the transported cargo volume reaching 3,336,000 tons. The daily China-Europe (Central Asia) freight trains operate at an average rate of one trip every two hours, connecting 18 countries and 46 cities and regions across the border.
The crime of forced labor, which is part of China's genocide in East Turkistan, has continued unabated to this day. Under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act enacted by the United States, all products originating from East Turkistan are considered to be associated with forced labor. In recent years, China has continued to expand its transportation links in East Turkestan, enabling it to deliver forced labor products directly to European and Asian countries via integrated road, rail, and air transport routes, touting this as a special achievement.
