In 2022, let us together launch Xinjiang on its electric journey!\u201d Tesla posted along with photos from the showroom\u2019s opening ceremony and people posing with \u201cTesla (heart) Xinjiang\u201d signs.<\/p>\n<p>Xinjiang is an increasingly complicated problem for businesses as more Westerners recognize the human rights abuses ongoing in the province. The Chinese government, under the auspices of cracking down on terrorism, has overseen a massive forced assimilation and extermination program against the region\u2019s ethnic minorities.<\/p>\n<p>While western nations are growing increasingly harsh of the Chinese government and companies that do business in Xinjiang, the Chinese government remains especially sensitive to criticism stemming from its work in the region. China has lashed back at companies who so much as offer statements condemning human rights abuses in Xinjiang, often scoring apologies and retractions from those companies.<\/p>\n<p>In December, Intel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/12\/23\/business\/intel-china-apology-xinjiang-intl-hnk\/index.html\">apologized<\/a> to China after it ordered suppliers to not source components from Xinjiang. The U.S. chipmaker expressed \u201cdeep regret\u201d for offending \u201cour cherished Chinese partners\u201d and blamed U.S. laws that ban the import of goods made in Xinjiang.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla\u2019s announcement sparked criticism from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) over the Xinjiang showroom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight after President Biden signed Sen. Rubio\u2019s Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act into law, @Tesla opened a store in #Xinjiang. Nationless corporations are helping the Chinese Communist Party cover up genocide and slave labor in the region,\u201d the press Twitter account for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenRubioPress\/status\/1478090139406684165\">posted<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On December 23, President Joe Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubio.senate.gov\/public\/index.cfm\/2021\/12\/rubio-merkley-uyghur-forced-labor-prevention-act-becomes-law\">signed<\/a> legislation co-written by Rubio that bans U.S. imports of goods sourced from the Xinjiang region of China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the most important and impactful action taken thus far by the United States to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for their use of slave labor,\u201d Rubio said in a statement at the time. \u201cIt will fundamentally change our relationship with Beijing. This law should also ensure that Americans no longer unknowingly buy goods made by slaves in China. I look forward to working with the Biden Administration and my colleagues to ensure the new law is implemented correctly and enforced properly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken added in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/the-signing-of-the-uyghur-forced-labor-prevention-act\/\">statement<\/a>: \u201cWe will continue doing everything we can to restore the\u202fdignity\u202fof those who yearn to\u202fbe free from forced labor. We\u202fcall on the\u202f Government\u202fof the People\u2019s Republic of China to immediately end genocide and crimes against humanity against the predominantly Muslim\u202fUyghurs and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The legislation followed weeks after the Department of Treasury <a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/news\/press-releases\/jy0526\">sanctioned<\/a> a group of individuals and companies involved in ongoing human rights abuses over the world, including in China\u2019s Xinjiang province.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
