Apple said to be among US companies lobbying against Uighur forced labor bill
It's worth noting that this bill (link) was near unanimous, it passed 406 to 3 in the House.This doesn't mean that Apple shouldn't defend its supply chain and call out the initial (short) half-a-year deadline in the bill. (Though I agree with the bill, that annual reviews should be a bare minimum thereafter).From a quick skim, I don't see much fluff in this bill, but please comment if you see differently (specific section numbers would be helpful) - I'm honestly curious. If anything, I feel the bill could've been strengthened further; the bill seems to still permit companies to claim ignorance, and appears it could have law enforcement loopholes.

My heart breaks for Mainland Chinese youth these days.
No games, no creativity, not even extracurricular schooling – all that's left really is to join the military.

Apple's Chinese wind power partner linked to Uyghur forced labor programs
It's truly sad what's happening to the Uyghur population in Xinjiang (the "New Province"). So many Uyghurs don't even get access to their own language. Imagine being punished for speaking, or trying to learn, your own language.
