A friend got heated about Zara using Uyghur forced labor and I pointed out that was illegal in the EU to have forced labor in your supply chain, and I asked why they weren’t prosecuted for it.
With a straight face they replied it’s because there’s no proof that it’s happening.
look at the bright side. if you were talking to a sawy american lib they’d say the supreme court ruled foreign slavery isn’t wrong in the case of nestlé.
I mean, corporations and the government aren’t exactly the most honest entities around. China has used forced labor in the past so there should be some scrutiny, but we also have documented cases of the US using forced labor - I mean the constitution literally allows slavery - and nothing has been done about it. In fact politicians, businessmen, and citizens have repeatedly opposed changes to prison labor and the constitution because it would be “too expensive” and that the prisoners “deserve it” for their crimes. China doesn’t even say slavery is happening. The US does and defends it staunchly.
Shouldn’t the richest, most progressive, most democratic, most tolerant country on earth show who’s boss by punishing their human rights abusers? No. Of course not.
I don’t think it’s correct to pretend the claim is merely the use of prison labor.
The claim being made is that millions of Uyghurs are being enslaved.
To pretend they mean merely prison labor by criminals is not an honest representation of the claim. They might retreat into that position when forced to rely on evidence because that’s all that likely is true, but their claim is in fact some kind of Nazi-Germany style prison camp system involved millions of slaves. That’s what the BBC has claimed and it’s not honest to allow them to pretend they merely mean prison labor by perhaps several hundred convicted criminals.

And that American slavery is okay when they’re called inmates instead of slaves.
