7 Apple suppliers in China have links to forced labor programs, including the use of Uyghur Muslims from Xinjiang, according to a new report
Seven of Apple's suppliers were found to be linked to suspected forced labor of Uyghur Muslims and other persecuted groups sourced from the Xinjiang region, according to an investigation by The Information.
Apple has previously denied using suppliers that rely on the forced labor of Uyghurs, a Muslim minority group that has faced persecution in China. The Information's investigation suggests the use of forced labor by some of Apple's largest suppliers is more widespread than previously reported.

As China cozied up to capitalism I thought there was hope for them. This is so sad.
I wonder how many WOKE People give up their Apple iPhones. Not holding my breath.
The post that was quoted here has been removedSome people will do anything if it is legal, and greedy businessmen are no exception.
Such greedy businessmen have taken advantage of the use of slavery in China, which is legal there.
So, both are immoral but who is MORE responsible here? China, because they have the final say.
Let us not point so many fingers at Apple and others. It's China's fault.
The question still remains. Will the WOKE people get rid of their Apple iPhones?
And also, will Joe Biden clamp down on trade to China?? Another one for the PC crowd here.
Racist Chinese are perfectly willing to allow wholesale slavery *based on race* be utilized in their nation, China,
and then watch as loyalists flail away, pointing to "westerners" as the culprit, so as to hide their guilt (and odor).
The Westerners *may* sometimes hold the whip, but the plantation is owned by CHINA
China... GUILTY of slavery, in the first degree.
The post that was quoted here has been removedHe was not blaming the Chinese victims and he is calling for a consumer boycott on the big powerful US company implicated in their victimisation.He simply pointed out that a powerful authoritarian government like the CCP could surely prevent capitalist exploitation to this extent within their own borders.
Stop misrepresenting the position of those you disagree with.

As I said before, many businessmen wield the whip, but China owns the entire plantation
@shavixmir saidI agree in the uk the biggest users of slave labour are probably the buyers of throw away fashion produced in unsafe and insanitary conditions amidst the slums of India for a pittance.
I’m surprised at this argument.
Who’s worse? The country which allows slave labour, the companies which use slave labour or the consumers who know about the slave labour but find the goods more important?
Who’s worse?
They’re all equally uninvitable to the BBQ.
