I wonder what DNA testing of the hair would turn up. In fact, I wonder if they've already tested samples and that's why they are making such an extraordinary claim.

To test it, you'd need DNA from a sample of detainees, I doubt they have that.

It's pretty suspicious though, 800k worth of human hair? It disgusts you, I hope.

In other news, President Trump agreed with Chairman Xi that his concentration camps were "the right thing to do" as long as Xi continued to buy soybeans from American farms!

Art of the deal!

Are they trying to imply that the hair itself comes from Xinjiang prisoners or just that the wigs are made by forced labor ?

> “If this highly suspicious, 13-ton shipment of human hair indeed turns out to be linked to the Uighur concentration camps, then this is a new low — even for the Chinese Communist Party — and they will have to answer to the world community for their actions,” National Security Council spokesperson John Ullyot tells Axios.

> Numerous female survivors have said women's heads were shaved when they were admitted to the camps.

I don't even know what to say about this, if it's true.

Interesting slice of history, thanks for sharing!

What other countries weren't bothered with this sort of atrocity 80 years ago?
