Federal Government Blocks Imports from Dozens of Chinese Companies Over Concerns of Forced Labor

The U.S. government intends to block imports from 37 Chinese based on concerns of forced labor.

The sanctions are part of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act that took effect in 2022. In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said some of the companies linked to forced labor practices in China supply critical minerals and textiles.

From “reeducation camps” to forced abortion to organ harvesting, China’s human rights track record has been abysmal. Christians have spoken out for years against the atrocities China’s communist government has committed against the Uyghur people and other groups.

Congress passed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act in response to these atrocities. It’s good to see the federal government continuing to enforce it and hold bad actors in China accountable.

Genocide – The Musical

John Stonestreet, Radio Host and Director of the Colson Center

Totalitarian propaganda takes many forms, for example, the Soviet-era paintings where everyone looks stoically to the horizon, or, the Nazi film “The Triumph of the Will”.

These more stoic examples aside, some propaganda is more lighthearted. Back in 1943, for example, an American fan portrayed Joseph Stalin as a kindhearted man instead of as the brutal killer of millions. And, despite his body-count of even more millions, Chairman Mao’s fatherly smile still adorns posters across China to this day.

And now, according to the UK’s The Guardian, Beijing has made a musical inspired by the 2016 American hit, “La-La Land.” But, the purpose of this Chinese film called “The Wings of Songs,” is to convince viewers there’s nothing to the ongoing genocide of Muslim Uyghurs.

The truth is far more brutal and ugly than the film portrays. If we’re going to stand for human rights in the face of a new holocaust, we must tell the truth of what’s happening in the Xinxiang province.
