Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act

The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act is a US federal law that aims to prevent American entities from funding forced labor in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The law was signed into effect in December 2021 and took effect in June 2022, requiring companies to certify that goods imported from Xinjiang were not produced using forced labor to avoid penalties. The law was introduced after numerous allegations of forced labor in Xinjiang, including estimates that 500,000 to 800,000 people are held in prisons and used for forced labor, and that millions of Uyghurs are being held in internment camps and subjected to forced labor.learn more on wikipedia
