U.S. bans all cotton and tomato products from Xinjiang over slave labor.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Wednesday it will detain all cotton and tomato products produced inThe Withhold Release Order issued by CBP is based on information that “reasonably indicates” the use of forced labor within China’s so-called “re-education” camps. CBP also claims China is oppressing its Muslim population in that region.

CBP officials and human rights experts estimate that somewhere between 1 million to 3 million Uighurs, Kazakhs and others are being detained in what U.S. Secretary of State “I've said this before and I'll say it again: Made in China does not just indicate a country of origin,” said Cuccinelli. “It's a warning label.”Cotton is Xinjiang's largest export; cotton exports from China are approximately a $9 billion industry. Last month, CBP issued a WRO on Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, which had accounted for 17% of those cotton exports.

“If you're buying apparel and it's considerably lower than the fair market value everywhere else, there's a reason for that,” said CBP Acting Commissioner Mark A. Morgan. “Take a few minutes, understand where it's coming from -- is it coming from this region?”

Can the U.S. ban slave labor in all of its 50 states and territories too?

A good decision. The US should give more support to East Turkistan.

Great! Now let’s see if they ban domestic terrorists....

Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Is slandering others a hobby of Americans? The leaders of the United States don’t think about how many deaths and homeless people you have killed in the world. This is the most shameful

Yes! This is exactly why American companies cannot compete with China!

I wonder why didn't they ban lithium and gold coming from South America! That's right! It isn't slavery when the profit is just for you!

atrzy Um. 'Penal labor in the United States is explicitly allowed by the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution: 'Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist...'

Did Ivanka not secure 4 trade deals with China for her personal organisation some time back? Will she be stymied by this or will she escape any sanctions? Hmm
