- Since the list began, US Customs and Border Protection has stopped more than 24,300 shipments tied to alleged forced labour, worth nearly US$1 billion.
Today's action by the Trump administration strengthens America's economy against products made with slave labour and sends a message to the Chinese Communist Party that we will not look the other way on its genocide and human rights abuses.— Congressman John Moolenaar, chair of the US House of Representatives Select Committee on China, said in a statement.
