This is the second time this year that the US Customs and Border Protection has seized products from China suspected to have been made from prisoner's hair

According to the CPB, the shipment originated in Xinjiang, China, signaling potential human rights abuses of forced labor and imprisonment. The products were worth over $800,000 dollars.Xinjiang is an autonomous rural region in the northwest of China and home to roughly 11 million Uyghurs, a predominantly Muslim ethnic minority with a distinct culture and language.

"It is absolutely essential that American importers ensure that the integrity of their supply chain meets the humane and ethical standards expected by the American government and by American consumers," said Brenda Smith, Executive Assistant Commissioner of the CBP Office of Trade.

Well for this photo I don’t know is the hair really come from prisoner, but for my point of view, CCP can do everything even they against humanity

Terrible😥

Oh no your owners are not going to be happy with you sharing negative news stories about them !

1. Any proof to prove it comes from prisoners? 2. Who bought those hair in USA?

Humanitarian crisis, Human is human. We need to scared and pay attention that CCP how to manage their people like a farm..... BoycottChina

This is a disgusting display of CNN's xenophobia

OMFG. What kind of world are we living in?!

Fake news. Next question.

Very disturbing

This is the news you have to report?! No wonder your viewer’s have IQ’s about the same as their shoe size

makes me think of Auschwitz Concentration Camp...hairs for blankets

It was seized to take it directly for this guy!

How many prisoners are needed to produce 13 tons of hair...?

And.. US is still buying from China...

So as milk and blood, the inhumane crazy CCP

a lot of chinese are willing to sell their hair to exchange money, it is properly not from prisoners !

show evidence,not the rumor

You know someone sell their hair for money . I used to sell it when I am young becsuase my family is poor . Somebody don’t live as you think .

CREEPY!

So, dies this mean party time at CNN.

The world in CNN's eyes is full of evil

Wow. I bet that is where most the weave is from. Free then. Can't compete with free.

China should have known by now that the world especially US has their eyes on them. Every step of this biz may have been with consent

China will try to profit off ANYTHING! BoycottChineseProduct

'CHILD PERVERTED GAY NEWS OUTLET'

This is horrifying

Doesn't Joe Biden and his son LOVE the CCP?

MizrajiHizza

Unbeweavable!

13 T of hair....that’s a lot!

Yuck, so yucky.

Fake news CNN, nice try.

China pays the best.. Right Hunter? I love China!

What shows that it's prisoners hair and how does that affect the quality of the product 😁

Nigeria ladies left the group chat 🕺🕺🕺

越来越离谱了,干脆您说新疆是中国的奥斯维辛算啦,给您一步到位了,不用再辛苦大费周章铺垫半天了。您去新疆看过吗?fake news!

Yet the US government is okay with prison labor in this country. Lmao

I don't understand how this isn't a bigger story. It's straight from the ghoul playbook. 🤮🤮🤮

MAAS MURDER DISGRACED CHINA KILLS THEIR OWN PEOPLE IN SECRET.

Not prisoners. Executed citizens of CCP

😂😂😂

Ladies now you know why you didn’t get your weave... it wasn’t USPS’s or Ali express’s fault 😳

suspected…is there any evidence? If not …FAKE NEWS

g7bmp Take seriously the British human rights crime of human exploitation no consent inflicting with asbestos for the human brain manufactured schizophrenia.Not the disease a dirty evil malevolent secret,a secret.

China is very sick. They harvest the organs and now this.

But fashion is fashion.

Every story CNN tweets teeters on the words suspected, possibly, may, etc. Try something factual this decade. After all, it just started 🤔

IvankaTrump wigs. She already got the patent from China.

Ban everything that comes of these insect .any living species eating race yuckssss.just stop economic activity unless they face punishment for this pandemic

Your bosses ain’t gonna like this

You are going to keep stopping them right?

Women have sold their long hair for years to the wig and extension trade.

Funny, again the “experts” start estimate everything without evidence right? The US should curb this virus to save lives of your own country instead of disturbing other countries’ internal affairs. The US is not the world police okay?

The world needs less China!

shaving keeps hair out of the soylent green.... organs harvested and the rest is turned into food for prisoners.

CNN is shocked. Clueless.

nothing new ccp still doing their ghoulish bussiness in 2020!

Cheap and low slandering platitudes.

CNN loves to distort facts. China’s annual exports of finished wigs account for more than 75% of the world. The Uyghur population in China is less than 0.7%. These hair materials are the hair of our Han people.

That‘s really fake news at all🤣🤣,who’s buying so much this real shit,13ton?if this is real hair you know how many is it?

Hey, it's not like the US doesn't force slave labor. As long they get reasonably compensated and r willing participants, who the fuck cares? 🤷

🤫🤫🤫🤫 don’t tell the nba

Just say no to all Chinese products. Buy made in USA.

That’s a lot of hair! WTF?

How is this relevant to anything

Thats pretty gross..

China and Biden 🙄

Also

rjlloyd4ever

Fake news

Where’s Hunter Biden? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Why does the U.S.A. & CANADA still allow the import of Chinesse products .Most of these products are counterfeit.inferior quality. .dangerous ex: lead paint used in childrens toys. Why are we supporting China's economy by buying their products? Govts should ban all china imports

What else we’ll hear something awful from far east?

Serious baldness problem somewhere.. is it possible to tell whether the hairs belong to prisoners.
