Biden's blockade not the solution for the Uighurs: Statesman

The American President has signed a Bill into law to block imports from the region unless corporate enterprises can prove that the items were made without forced labour. On closer reflection, Mr Biden's blockade, so to speak, is the latest in a slew of US penalties against President Xi Jinping's China for human rights abuses.

Clearly, this is the latest in the series of penalties that have been intensified since Thursday . Going by the terms of the bipartite Uighur Forced Labour Prevention Act, the United States of America will"continue to use every tool at our disposal to ensure that supply chains are free from the use of forced labour, notably from Xinjiang and other parts of China".

The legislation is seemingly embedded in the presumption that goods from Xinjiang are invariably made with forced labour. Business enterprises will have to prove that forced labour, including that that by workers transferred from Xinjiang, was not used in manufacturing the product before it is allowed into the United States.

In its immediate reaction, the government in Beijing has condemned the move."The measure maliciously denigrates the human rights situation in China's Xinjiang province in disregard of fact and truth," is the counter-blast from the foreign ministry in Beijing."It violates international law and basic norms governing international relations and grossly interferes in China's internal affairs. China deplores and firmly rejects this.

straits_times USA is trying to divert they are the number one enemy of all muslim by spreading china ill treat muslim. The facts the one who invade and kill muslim is the usa invasion war and anti muslim by label them as terrorist. These are fact and will not be distorted by US politicians

Is there genocide in Xinjiang when the population increased more the 3 times in 7 decades. If so China is really lousy at genocide unlike the Anglo-American axis of evil countries.

The US lies about the Xinjiang Genocide allegations.
