The New York Times has revealed that a number of Chinese companies are using forced Uyghur labor to produce personal protective equipment (PPE), through a government-sponsored program that experts say often puts people to work against their will. The program sends ethnic minorities in China into factory and service jobs, and is widely publicized in state media as a form of poverty reduction. Quotas on the numbers of workers put into the labor program and the penalties faced by those who refuse to cooperate, means that participation is effectively involuntary. One factory in Hubei province included 100 Uyghur workers sent to Xinjiang who were required to learn Mandrin and pledge their loyalty to China in weekly flag-raising ceremonies.
