U.S. senator slams Apple, Amazon, Nike, for enabling forced labour in China

Speaking at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on China’s crackdown on Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in its western Xinjiang region, Republican Senator Marco Rubio said many U.S. companies had not woken up to the fact that they were “profiting” from the Chinese government’s abuses.”For far too long companies like Nike and Apple and Amazon and Coca-Cola were using forced labour.
