Britain risks being ‘dumping ground’ for forced labour goods, MPs warn

Parliament’s human rights surveillance was faced with the risk of being a “unloading area için for the goods made by force of China for force of China from the ‘Italian’ tomato puree to solar panels.

The products are linked to forced employment in the autonomous area of Sincan Uygur, where thousands of people are made under threat and protection. These goods then enter the UK supermarkets and energy firms.

The new report from the Parliament’s Joint Committee of Human Rights (JCHR) found that the Modern Slavery Law, which is the main framework that regulates the work, was not “applicable legislation ıyla to really stop the entry of these products into the UK market.

Unlike Westminster, key markets such as the European Union and the United States have stronger laws to force forcibly employment prohibitions. This means that goods are more likely to come to England.

Sir Iain Duncan Smith, the current co -chairman of the former conservative party leader and the inter -parliamentary alliance between the Chinese Parliament, said to Smith, “We are currently the weakest protected in Europe.” Independent. “People like Ed Miliband [Energy and Net Zero Secretary] It is desperate for cheaper product and does not need to slow down or not be inaccessible. “

“This is your despair to get the product, I don’t care what else you will attract.”

The EU adopts an advanced state of detection approach and adopts a harsh approach in which the parts or goods made in the US, Xinjiang are assumed to be made by force unless otherwise proved.

The inter -party group called on ministers to take care of the necessary care to create a legal task instead of the current “voluntary approach” and to implement the penalties.

He said the government, who is responsible for preventing imports of stained goods and should determine what will happen if they are confiscated.

“The UK’s lack of equivalent legislation is at risk of a dump for goods that cannot be sold anywhere else,” the report said. He said.

However, experts warn that even if the ministers put them in place, the determination of the situation is not a guarantee.

Ev Evan Fowler from IPAC said, “British companies are really careful and there is no basis for the police, so you see this approach taken in the US,” he said. Independent.

Fowler not only stopped publishing used data to create a picture of what is happening by Beijing, but also forced to force the labor force program, Mr Mr. Fowler added a plan to direct tens of thousands of people from Xinjiang to work in the eastern factories.

The report comes after finding that a BBC investigation was made of 17 tomatoes sold in the UK and made of tomatoes grown and selected in the Xinjiang fields with forced running. Supermarkets objected to the findings.

Approximately one -third of the tomatoes in the world is grown in China and Sincan has the perfect climate for them.

“Cargo flights are allowed directly to the UK from the Sincan Capital of Cargo flights, Jch said Jchr.

UK – Metallurgical class Silicone (MGS) and polytheism used to make solar panels imported to polytheism has also increased concerns.

According to the 2023 reports on the Uighur region and solar panels, it constitutes about 35 percent of Sincan’s world polystyilicon and 32 percent of world MG.

In April, the government made a change in the large British energy bill to prohibit forbidden to operate in supply chains – this received similar criticisms due to lack of effort or punishment.

It was also criticized for not covering special solar farms that were entitled to generous state subsidies through difference contracts.

“The government seems to be blind to slave labor, Sir Sir Iain said Independent.

However, monitoring products to their real origins is usually complex due to lack of transparency of producers.

Companies usually divided their supply among countries to claim that stained products go elsewhere, or choose not to explain where the parts are caused.

Sir Iain, some components asking where the solar panels were caused by the wrong way were told to be wrong in Germany. Independent.

“Well, they are not made in Germany. There are only the company that produces them, the middle men. So they hide where they come from. They never declare that they come from China.”

Experts say that China has increasingly frame the necessary efforts as a national security threat.

“China is expanding the scope that he thinks he is sensitive to national security when it comes to situation detection, Andrew Yeh said, General Manager of the Chinese Institute of Strategic Risks. Independent.

“Therefore, everyone who tries to monitor which companies are involved or whether the supply chains are connected is potentially passes the Chinese government’s red lines on how they think and define national security.”

Sir Keir Starmer’s government tried to balance the revival of relations with Beijing in search of growth due to China’s intervention in England and concerns about human rights concerns.

China rejected the accusations that it has been exposed to forcibly operating its Uygun minority.
