For Corporations That Use Slave Labor, Twitter Under Elon Musk Must Be Stopped Lest They Be Exposed To The ‘Woke’ | “‘Woke’ Apple continues to use Chinese slave labor, report shows” | The Washington Times

Apple, one of the “woke” corporations that has endorsed the Black Lives Matter movement and critical race theory, continues to use slave labor in China to make its products, a new report shows.

Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook has categorically denied the technology firm sources from Chinese companies that use Uyghur slave labor in its production lines. Last year, he was asked directly by Congress if he could “certify here today that your company does not use, and will never use, slave labor to manufacture your products?”

Mr. Cook replied: “Forced labor is abhorrent, and we will not tolerate it in Apple. I agree completely.”

Well, a new investigative report from the website The Information shows seven Apple suppliers have been accused of using slave labor.

“The Information and human rights groups have found seven companies supplying device components, coatings and assembly services to Apple that are linked to alleged forced labor involving Uyghurs and other oppressed monitories in China,” the report reads. “At least five of those companies received thousands of Uyghur and other minority workers at specific factory sites or subsidiaries that did work for Apple, the investigation found.”

International human rights groups and the U.S. have charged China with genocide against more than 1 million Uyghurs. The minorities are sent to concentration camps, away from their homes, in many cases sterilized, and subjected to live and work in poverty, as a way for the Chinese Communist Party to “cleanse” them from their Islamic faith.

The Information, associated with other human rights groups, uncovered “previously unreported public statements, photos and videos by Chinese local government offices and state-run media” in China as well as with unnamed Apple employees, to back up their reporting.

In a statement to The Information, Apple said that “despite the restrictions of Covid-19, we undertook further investigations and found no evidence of forced labor anywhere we operate. We will continue doing all we can to protect workers and ensure they are treated with dignity and respect.”

Yet, Mr. Cook continually pushed back against Congress, lobbying to weaken a bill it was crafting preventing U.S. companies from using slave labor in China. Last December, in a separate report, the Tech Transparency Project found one of Apple’s most well-known iPhone suppliers was using forced Uyghur labor in its factories. . . .
