The United States Senate passed legislation that would halt imports from China’s Xinjiang region, where the Chinese government is enslaving members of the Uyghur ethnic group.
The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act — sponsored by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) — was approved in the Senate via unanimous consent on Wednesday. The legislation must now pass the House of Representatives and receive a signature from President Biden.
