Washington has enforced a number of illegal unilateral sanctions against China’s Xinjiang region since 2021 which, among other things, subvert the internationally recognized idea of “innocent until proven guilty,” assuming that any and all goods produced in Xinjiang, or even partly produced in Xinjiang, are tainted with so-called “slave labor,” forcing accused entities to prove they are INNOCENT which is all but impossible.
Finally, though, someone is speaking up for China.
That person is Professor Alena Douhan from the UN, who recently visited Xinjiang and is now calling on the US to immediately remove its illegal sanctions.
Will it work? And how has the Western media reported on the UN’s statement? Today we’ll investigate.
This is Reports on China, I’m Andy Boreham in Shanghai. Let’s get reporting.
