Some British firms could be complicit in the use of forced
labour in China’s Xinjiang region, an MPs’ report says. It
states there was a lack of transparency in firms’ supply chains
and failures in government. Xinjiang, in north-west China,
is home to the Uighur Muslim population. China has been
accused of committing genocide and crimes against humanity
through its repression of the Uighurs – allegations it denies.
