Quick Glance: Forced Labor: Is VW Complicit in China?
  • The UN Human Rights Commission found credible allegations of torture, human rights abuses, and forced labor in Xinjiang last year.

  • According to a report commissioned by Volkswagen, employees at the VW plant in Xinjiang have good qualifications, low workloads, and above-average pay.

  • Anthropologist Adrian Zenz doubts the report and reiterates his accusations against VW.

  • VW wants to distance itself from forced labor of Uighurs in China, but Adrian Zenz says this distance is not significant.
