Many brands have also allegedly employed these forced laborers in their supply chains, claims which both Beijing and these corporations have denied. CNBC’s Nessa Anwar reports.

Isn’t the American company “John Deere” the one who’s helping the Xinjiang industry with their cotton harvesting machine to harvest four hectare acres of cotton in a single hour? And the sales of US manufactured cotton harvesting machinery to China have increased by 4000%. Despite repeated accusations of Xinjiang forced labour made by the media, a US football brand SKECHERS has publicly stated that they have found no evidence of Xinjiang forced labour.

Westerners: We hate China. We hate Muslims. We hate Islam. But we love Chinese Muslims. Even though we have no idea where Xinjiang even is, nor who the Uyghurs are. Hell, we can't even say their name right. But we're suddenly Xinjiang experts and want to tell you all about Uyghurs.

This video should be called “media lies epic failed”

Why smear Xinjiang and Hong Kong? Both areas are the starting point of the one belt one road initiative. Coincidence?

Why don't you interview those Uyghurs in Xinjiang and kept going to CIA-funded regime change actors?
Cringe.

As a Chinese in Shandong province, we see many Han Chinese farmer travel from Shandong to Xinjiang every year to help harvest the cotton, just because they earn a lot (1000-2000 dollars per month, better than me as a teaching assistant in US) by doing those work... They really don’t need to force Xinjiang people to work. If Xinjiang people don’t want to work, Han people from other province will immediately grab the working opportunity to earn the money.

I am forced to work and speak English as well. Please rescue me.

It's really strange and absurd these human rights group representatives can draw the conclusion based on a few skewed videos made by some stupid reporters. Why don't the people just visit Xinjiang for God's sake.

YouTube should probably add one of those “sponsored in part by the government” labels on this one.

CNBC think having an Asian report about Xinjiang will make it more legit, come on...

Xinjiang Uyghur population grows 20 times since 1949.

Help. I am currently being abused. I am forced against my will to go to work. Please end this abuse by no longer requiring me to work, and also set up a gofundme for my future meals while you’re at it.

The colonizers say that China has committed genocide so it must be true...

Give me a break

[gcyalbert]

Show me a forced labor instead of interviewing those so-called ‘expert’
