- Description 詳情
Materials from China’s Xinjiang region, including cotton and polysilicon, permeate global supply chains. All products made with such materials are presumptively banned from the United States under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which took effect almost two years ago. Ned Levin, an attorney who has investigated forced labor in China and represents Uyghur asylum seekers in the United States, will explain how the UFLPA came about, how it works, the steps the US government has taken to enforce this massive and unprecedented new mandate, and reactions from companies and trade groups. He will also discuss his work with Uyghur asylum seekers, the challenges they face, and the importance of granting Uyghurs safe haven.
