Leading professor at Sheffield Hallam was told to cease research on supply chains and forced labour in China after demands from authorities
Murphy’s work focuses on Uyghurs, a persecuted Muslim minority in China, being co-opted into forced labour programmes.
The Chinese government rejects accusations of forced labour, and says that Uyghur work programmes are for poverty alleviation.
@AutisticInnovator it hits different when you are directly affected by it. I think the #tradewar is great as it lowers the slave labor used in production (Chinese labor camps for #uighur and #FalunGong) while all the negative impact of the trade war is affecting only some country far far away (from me) that has benefitted from #slavelabor for hundreds of years (#USA).
I hope my country will use this opportunity to double down on the supply chain law to ban any slave labor anywhere in supply

Over the past few decades, #China has solidified its status as an economic superpower. But the country’s economic boom coupled with its increased military might has increased tensions in the region, including with Taiwan, where fears are mounting over a possible Chinese invasion.
Meanwhile, at home, China’s #humanrights record remains under the spotlight with severe curtailments on free speech and a continued hardline policy on the country’s #Uighur community.
Everybody knows how IBM made the machines the original nazis used in their genocide of the Jews, but we never talk about how IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and others today makes the technology China uses in their genocide of the Uighur. Why not?

In 2013, China's President Xi Jinping said that "whoever controls data has the upper hand." Xi has been on a technological quest to build what some call a blueprint for a digital dictatorship ever since. It would not only allow China's communist government to control huge volumes of data on its own citizens but also of those around the world.
