US solar industry has to deal with the fact its supply chains are reliant on Xinjiang, where genocide and slave labor are rampant
04/14/2021 / By Arsenio Toledo
Prominent advocates of solar power as the renewable energy that can replace fossil fuels have to deal with the fact that the industry’s supply chains are heavily reliant on China’s Xinjiang region.
According to multiple governments and human rights organizations, the Chinese Communist Party is currently conducting genocide in China’s northwestern province of Xinjiang. This province is home to many ethnic and religious minorities.
The CCP’s ethnic cleansing campaign is focused on wiping out Xinjiang’s Muslim Uyghur population. U.S. officials have accused the CCP of running a sprawling network of concentration camps that is believed to have held more than one million Uyghurs.
