WASHINGTON DC — Sportswear brands Adidas and Nike, along with Chinese retail giants Shein and Temu, have been challenged by US politicians about the possible use of forced labour in their supply chains.
Leaders of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) emailed the CEOs of all four companies asking whether they sourced cotton from China's Xinjiang region.
The politicians wanted to know whether they were in compliance with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) which bans imports from Xinjiang on the presumption they are made with forced labour.
