Just because they take no outward "position" ... doesn't mean that internally they are not perfectly aware of what is happening in Xinjiang - and of the moral dimensions of their complicity in it.
- dirtyid 5y agoOr internally these companies could be aware that US propaganda perpetuated under Mike Pompeo as head of state is just that, propaganda for US interests and there's no point attaching any morality and complicity to it. It's about compliance and drafting up PR to minimize fallout from useful idiots in both markets. Any company operating in PRC for 20+ years knows of rural labour transfer programs, even have reluctant suppliers pressured to take Uyghur workers by CCP because they're over compensated and underqualified. Half the reason terrorism exploded in XJ 2009 is due to drama caused by one of these programs (Shaoguan Incident). Companies with established supply chains in PRC knows these coerced labour stories are bullshit. There's about 400M other rural poor Chinese who will work for less than how much these transfer programs designed to boost minorities are paying. And they don't even need to be retrained for literacy skills.
