The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act was signed by President Joe Biden, and the US Secretary of State called on China to end genocide.
The Biden administration announced plans for a "diplomatic boycott" during the Beijing Winter Olympics after the Treasury Department imposed sanctions on several Chinese companies for their alleged involvement in abuses.
The capital of the region is Urumqi. When it opened a factory in China at the beginning of the year, it helped push the company to its first annual profit.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the US accusations of genocide are based on reports that the Chinese government has imprisoned over 1 million Uyghur people and other minorities in the region. The Chinese government claims that it has imposed measures like real-time gps vehicle tracking to fight terrorism, and that it refutes the allegations.
Apple suppliers have been linked to the region, as well as Best Buy and Home Depot, which removed security cameras they were selling after it was reported that the brands were linked to snooping. Intel made a statement that it would not use labor or goods from the region before it deleted the post and apologized on Chinese social media sites.
The new location of the PR department was not commented on by the company.
