Canada and the UK have come up with several measures that aim to prevent goods made by forced labour in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region from entering the global supply chain and ensure that businesses in both countries are not complicit in forced labour in Xinjiang.

Foreign Affairs Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Mary Ng, Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion, and International Trade announced Canada’s measures in a statement on Jan. 12.
