Senate Bill Will Stop US Companies From Using Chinese Slave Labor
A bipartisan group of senators introduced a bill that would stop U.S. companies from relying on Chinese slave labor.Introduced by Sens. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) and Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.), the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act would require companies to ensure forced labor is not used in their supply chains. It would also direct federal departments to produce a strategy for cutting Chinese forced labor out of the U.S. supply chain.
On December 23, 2021, President Biden signed into law the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, a bipartisan bill to ensure that goods made with forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China do not enter the United States market. Rubio is the author of the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 (P.L. 116-145), the first piece of legislation regarding Uyghurs in the world to be signed into law.
Up to one million members of the Uyghur ethnic minority have been placed in “re-education camps” in Western China, and many Uyghurs are trafficked across the country into forced labor programs.

So, it is ok that our corporations use slave labor from China?
So, sanctions, etc. is not just symbolic. China's economy is not that hot and virtually all of China’s data is fabricated.
We need to end China's buying up ag land and buying up American companies.
If you think the supply chain is broken now..........
If people were really interested in preventing slavery, and other inhuman labor practices, they would divest themselves from these corporations.
That is never going to happen. When you invest in a huge mutual fund, you have no idea what you are supporting.
