A report published on February 14 revealed that the Chinese Communist Party is continuing to target and enslave Uyghurs through an expansion of forced labor in China. Published by The Jamestown Foundation and authored by Beijing-banned academic Adrian Zenz, the report concluded, \u201cXinjiang currently operates the world\u2019s largest system of state-imposed forced labor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The atrocities that the Chinese Communist Party perpetrates against members of ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang have come to light in recent years, including mass imprisonment of more than 1 million civilians, forced sterilization, separation of children from their families, torture, abuse, restrictions on religious freedom, and forced labor.<\/p>\n

While most of China is composed of the Han ethnic group, more than half of the population of the northwestern region of Xinjiang consists of ethnic minorities (predominately Muslim Uyghurs) \u2013 who the Party has long sought to control.<\/p>\n

In 2021, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo determined that the Chinese Communist Party was committing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang \u2013 a determination that Secretary of State Antony Blinken upheld.<\/p>\n

Though the horrific methods the Party wields to subjugate these minority groups vary, the objective remains the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a strategy of control and assimilation,\u201d Zenz told The New Yorker. \u201cAnd it\u2019s designed to eliminate Uyghur culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forced labor systems in Xinjiang \u2013 punishable by detention for non-compliance \u2013 are a key part of removing resistance and opposition to the CCP\u2019s absolute authority and power. In his report, Zenz pointed to two dominant systems used to target Uyghurs and other ethnic groups in Xinjiang.<\/p>\n

In one system, detainees in China\u2019s infamous re-education camps received coercive skills training before receiving coercive work placement. Detainees who were viewed as less problematic received a sentence of forced labor, while others, such as prominent business and intellectual figures, were sentenced to lengthy prison terms.<\/p>\n

Though it appears this system is no longer active, Zenz noted that the Chinese Communist Party is instead expanding its \u201cPoverty Alleviation Through Labor Transfer\u201d program. Zenz described this policy as \u201ca non-internment state-imposed forced labor mobilization system.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Chinese academic research report, the Nankai Report, described the re-education camps as a \u201cdrastic short-term measure\u201d and the labor transfers as a long-term \u201cmethod to reform, meld and assimilate\u201d Uyghurs.<\/p>\n

But the bottom line is clear. \u201cXinjiang\u2019s recent policy changes have rendered forced labor less visible and more challenging to conceptualize,\u201d Zenz wrote. \u201cUyghur forced labor is becoming both more prevalent and more insidious.\u201d<\/p>\n

The United States must take notice of these findings that disguise coerced labor as voluntary.<\/p>\n

In 2021, Congress passed into law the bipartisan Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. The law prohibits goods made by the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s forced labor programs from entering the U.S. market. However, numerous products tied to slave labor continue to evade legal protections and arrive in American households.<\/p>\n

Chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP Rep. Mike Gallagher and Ranking Member Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi wrote a letter to Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas that outlined some of the key challenges to effectively enforcing this consequential law.<\/p>\n

First, the members wrote, \u201cCompanies transfer forced laborers from [Xinjiang] to other regions in the People\u2019s Republic of China, complicating [U.S. Department of Homeland Security] enforcement of the presumptive ban on forced labor products from [Xinjiang].\u201d Additionally, \u201cA second factor undermining enforcement of the [law] is Beijing\u2019s increased transshipment of forced labor products to the United States through third countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, to further augment and strengthen U.S. efforts in the fight against human rights abuses in Xinjiang, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the bipartisan and bicameral Uyghur Policy Act. This legislation, led by Rep. Young Kim, will authorize the State Department to appoint a Special Coordinator for Uyghur issues, direct the U.S. Agency for Global Media to distribute information on Uyghur genocide, and authorize support for Uyghur human rights activists.<\/p>\n

As the Chinese Communist Party continues to target Uyghurs and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in China, the United States must strengthen the enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act and resolve to pass the Uyghur Policy Act into law.<\/p>\n
