PPE made in China and exported was produced by oppressed Uighur Muslims
China has sent US and other countries personal protective equipment (PPE) that was made through the labor of the persecuted Uighur Muslim minority, The New York Times reported.
The Times identified companies across China that use Uighur labor to make PPE that is then exported to other countries.
One example cited by The Times was a shipment of face masks sent to a medical-supply company in the state of Georgia from a Chinese factory where more than 100 Uighurs were sent to work.
Some of those companies are using a government-backed labor programme to send Uighurs to work in their factories, which experts say amounts to using them as forced labour.
