An investigation into how forced-labor-produced cotton and cotton-based goods from the Uyghur Region wend their way into international supply chains. Based on international trade and customs data, the report concludes that at the same time as Xinjiang cotton has come to be associated with human rights abuses and to be considered high risk for international brands, China's cotton industry has benefited from an export strategy that obscures cotton's origin in the Uyghur Region.
Three major retail chains announced that they would no longer sell video surveillance hardware from companies linked to human rights abuses. Home Depot, Lowe's, and Best Buy announced that they had removed all surveillance technology made by Chinese companies Lorex and Ezviz due to their connections.
