The U.S. is stepping up pressure on American businesses to sever ties with China’s Xinjiang region—the world’s leading producer of cotton—over Beijing's alleged use of forced labor
WASHINGTON—U.S. lawmakers and Biden administration officials are stepping up pressure on American businesses to stop imports from the Western Chinese region of Xinjiang asin Xinjiang, the world’s leading producer of cotton and raw materials used in solar panels. Beijing strongly denies the claim., and penalties on purchases of some solar materials were implemented in June.
Tougher restrictions are afoot. Congress is expected to approve legislation later this year that would prohibit imports of all products from Xinjiang unless the importer can prove their items are free of forced labor—a high bar. The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act passed the Senate by unanimous consent last month and is awaiting approval by the House, which passed a similar bill by a wide bipartisan vote last year.
