Steel and an artificial sweetener made by two Chinese companies using forced labor have been banned from entering the U.S. under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA).
Extensive evidence shows that Uyghurs, and other ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang region, are being forced to work as slaves by Chinese officials. The UFLPA is designed to pressure China to halt its use of forced labor, which is endemic in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China.
