An Australian government inquiry into the use of Uyghur forced labour in China has been told the government’s investigation into the slave labour is crossing “a red line” for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
In a submission to the Senate inquiry, analyst Vicky Xu, who was lead author on the Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s 2020 report “Uyghurs for Sale,” said the CCP could not countenance any investigations into human rights or Uyghur rights.
