The economic and political ramifications of this report are going to be discussed widely.
But its introductory section also offers the most succinct and compelling demonstration yet that, when applied to Xinjiang, "labor transfer" means forced labor.edition.cnn.com/2021/05/14/e…

Today, @SHULawCrim released a new report, written by @Nyrola Elimä and me, investigating Uyghur forced labor in global solar supply chains.
Spoiler: It’s way more extensive (and, at times, weirder and more disturbing) than previous realized.

At my current university, UCLA, the admin first denied its knowledge of the school’s stadium being used for jailing (student) protestors, but admitted knowing later. “We know that there is work to be done to bridge the gap between UCLA’s ideals and our lived reality.” In 2020.

At my alma mater National Taiwan University, there’s a popular belief that the then principal of the university refused to turn student protestors in to the authoritarian government in 1949. “If any student bleed, I’ll fight you to death!” He said. 1/2
