So 👏🏻 true! 👏🏻 Quoting a popular British film, #LoveActually, ""A friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward I will be prepared to be much stronger." The world wants to communicate with #CCP? Seems like you must speak in a language they understand. Global Magnitsky sanctions now!

Uniqlo shirts blocked at U.S. border in January on China forced labour concern

Fast Retailing Co Ltd's (9983.T) Uniqlo brand shirts were blocked at the United States border in January on concerns they violated a ban on cotton products produced in the Xinjiang region of China, where there have been reports of forced labour.

A U.S. Customs document dated May 10 said a shipment of Uniqlo men's shirts was impounded on Jan. 5 at the Port of Los Angeles due to a suspected violation of the ban. The document said a protest filed by Uniqlo's parent company was denied.
Fast Retailing said it was disappointed by the U.S. Customs ruling.

Solar power supply chain could be tainted with Uyghur forced labour, report says

According to a new report, solar panels might have a dark side: almost half of the production of a key part of solar panels come from Xinjiang, China — a region of China which activists have flagged as rife with the widespread internment and forced labour of Uyghurs.

Almost all solar panels rely on one primary material — solar-grade polysilicon — and approximately 45 per cent of the world’s supply comes from Xinjiang, according to the report from the Sheffield Hallam university’s Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice in the United Kingdom.

What rubbish regime feels threatened when people literally say they're going to do nothing?!

A translation of the original "lying flat is doing justice" post:
I haven't worked for two years, I've been playing this whole time and there's nothing wrong. There has been pressure from peers always comparing among themselves and elders who are traditional. They are always around. Whenever you read the news you see celebrities' love affairs and pregnancies, as if some "invisible creature" hell bent on making you think the way they think. Human beings don't have to live like this. I could be relaxing in the sun like Diogenes, or thinking about "logos" in the mountains like Heraclitus. Since there has never been any real humanist philosophy on this land, I can create it for myself. Lying flat is my philosophy, only by lying flat can man be the measure of all things.

Intel apologises to China over Xinjiang products and labour directive

The US chipmaker Intel has apologised for telling its suppliers not to source products or labour from Xinjiang, a province that human rights groups and governments including the US allege uses forced labour, after facing a backlash across China.

Intel, which derives more than a quarter of its $80bn (£60bn) in annual revenues from the Chinese market, apologised to the people of China and its local partners on Thursday for telling suppliers to avoid the region in accordance with restrictions imposed by “multiple governments”.
