And some solar farms near you are probably built with these panels.

US Likely Bought Chinese Solar Panels Made With Forced Labor

As House Republicans demand an investigation over suspicion that Department of Homeland Security money is being used to buy Chinese solar panels made with forced labor, there is a high possibility that Uyghur slave labor has been involved, according to Salih Hudayar, the prime minister of the East Turkistan government-in-exile.
“It’s very likely given the fact that prior to China starting its official campaign of genocide and forced labor of the Uyghurs in 2014, solar power polysilicon production in East Turkistan amounted for only 9 percent of the global production. By 2021, it proliferated to over 50 percent of global production,” Hudayar said in an interview on NTD News, The Epoch Times’ sister media.
“And the fact that this is happening around the same time that China’s locking up millions of Uyghurs and other peoples in concentration camps and forced labor camps, shows us that this is only possible if the Chinese [regime] was using slave labor of Uyghurs,” he added.

The United Nations estimates that more than a million Uyghurs have been detained in internment camps in the Xinjiang region.
Hudayar affirmed credible reports have shown that the Uyghurs are facing sexual abuse, rape, and having their organs harvested, much like the believers of Falun Gong.
Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual practice composed of meditative exercises and a set of moral teachings based on the principles of truth, compassion, and forbearance. It grew in popularity during the 1990s leading to up to 100 million people practicing in China by the end of the decade. Perceiving this to be a threat, the Chinese regime in 1999 launched a nationwide campaign seeking to eradicate the practice.
Since then, millions of adherents have been detained in prisons, labor camps, and detention centers across the country, where they are subjected to torture, slave labor, and forced organ harvesting.
New evidence has emerged pointing to the Chinese regime’s ongoing organ harvesting crimes, according to Ethan Gutmann, China studies research fellow at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.
In Gutmann’s estimation, 25,000 to 50,000 Uyghurs are being killed for their organs every year—a number similar to that of estimates for Falun Gong adherents.

Many have given Lebron and the NBA crap for their affiliations with China, but the truth is all of America is in bed with China. Whether it is the NBA, Starbuck, or Apple, we have reached a point where we rely on too many products that do business with China.
The truth of the matter is that an overwhelming majority of us are hypocrites and believe we will stand up for a moral cause until it affects our state of being.
