China Is Using Uighur Labor to Produce Face Masks

[Burnt Reynolds 5,058]

The woke pile of #### Nike denouncing Americans as racist and fomenting racial divide happily profiting off of Chinese Uighur slave camps.

 

Enjoy those ethical masks.

A Times video investigation identified Chinese companies using a contentious labor program for Uighurs to satisfy demand for P.P.E., some of which ended up in the United States and other countries.

 

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to drive demand for personal protective equipment, Chinese companies are rushing to manufacture the gear for domestic and global consumption. A New York Times visual investigation has found that some of those companies are using Uighur labor through a contentious government-sponsored program that experts say often puts people to work against their will.

Uighurs are a largely Muslim ethnic minority primarily from the Xinjiang region of northwest China. The program sends Uighurs and other ethnic minorities into factory and service jobs. Now, their labor is part of the P.P.E. supply chain. According to China’s National Medical Products Administration, only four companies in Xinjiang produced medical grade protective equipment before the pandemic. As of June 30, that number was 51. After reviewing state media reports and public records, The Times found that at least 17 of those companies participate in the labor transfer program.

Think of this when you hear these trash organizations like Nike, the NBA, and so on kiss China's feet while taking a dump on the USA.

I saw high stacks of disposable masks available at Walgreens.  The packages had "Made in China" and much Chinese verbiage on them.  I considered it the pinnacle of irony.

New Balance are the Best!  I will never wear a Nike or Reebok again as the NBs I purchased were quite good at taking care of my plantar fasciitis.

 

As to the Uighur plight, apparently there is a whole lot more.

 

The Trump administration on Monday slapped sanctions on 11 Chinese firms over their use of forced labor and other forms of repression against the Uighur Muslims, an ethnic minority in China, including some with documented relationships with American companies.

The sanctions represent another step by the administration in its heightened pressure on the Chinese government in recent months.

The Commerce Department announced that those firms would be put on the "Entity List," an index of companies that are believed to be engaged in "activities contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States." According to the Commerce Department, these activities are not just limited to forced labor, but also include DNA collection.

You know we recently busted a shipment from China of human hair being used for wigs and weaves, likely coming from Uighur prisoners. Like the Christians in China, Uighur's are being subjected to forced sterilization, indoctrination, torture, labor camps, and other abuses.

And the US is the most racist country on the earth.  I’ll bet most of these Marxist rioters would gladly adopt a Chinese style of government.

They protest under the blanket of freedom that was provided to them by the same Establishment they protest. 

 

 

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it.

I agree, love me some NB.  They offer wide widths which I need.

 

How long have you suffered from PF?  I ask because I had it bad, for like 18 years.  Then I found a doc who helped pioneer the Topaz w/PRT procedure.  He talked me into doing it, and MAN am I glad I did!!  You should check into it if you suffer daily like I did.

Really awful you know? Most people probably aren't thinking about where the hair is coming from that they use. Same sort of stuff the Nazis would do.

Supposedly it was labeled as fake hair. But you are right it is really sad to say the least
