Game-changing revelations prove irrefutably that China's cotton trade is stained from start to finish with Uyghur forced labor.

Added to the scandal of internment camps, extra-judicial incarceration, mass sterilization, and the removal of children into state orphanages, a report released this week cites stark evidence that more than half a million Uyghurs a year, since 2018, have been corralled into the cotton fields, to hand pick the precious "white gold" to bolster China's lucrative textile industry.
Meticulous trawling through reams of CCP government websites by Adrian Zenz, foremost scholar on the Uyghur atrocities, has proved conclusively that the ready pool of so-called "Vocational School" graduates, now slips seamlessly into the Chinese government's plan to transfer its most "troublesome" people, from "re-education" to forced labor, under the guise of poverty alleviation.

But what if the parents agree with their daughter's choice?
