Here is a recent article [0] on rape and forced sterilization of Uyghur women.

"The year after she was arrested off the street, still in China, she was summoned to a police station and told that she needed to complete her training. "
if it's the same as prison rape in the US then what prison is she in? Further, prison rape is a crime.
"Her story is, tragically, not uncommon for members of the minority Uyghur religion, with Turkish roots, in President XI Jinping’s China. Since around 2016, they have been pulled off the street and sent to reeducation camps — where reports have surfaced about people being tortured, raped and even killed. They are sent there under the auspices of learning a trade and having their patriotism reinforced."
your attempt at equating this with the crime of prison rape in the US is reprehensible.
Even worse though, there are indications that this behavior is institutionally supported and desired in China. After all, if the local governors make rules to force non-Uyghur men to sleep in the bed of Uyghur women (even married ones) and offer forced sterilization otherwise, perhaps - just perhaps - you are peddling a false equivalence.
By the way, the latter meets the definition of genocide. In case you care.
I don't know how someone can compare these things with a straight face.
This is just whataboutism. You can care about both these issues, it's allowed.
Maybe their position is that they have not established as a fact that there is slave labour in concentration camps in Xinjiang? Have you considered that as an alternative possibility?
From the article:
> The letter now reads that the company prohibits "any human trafficked or involuntary labour such as forced, debt bonded, prison, indentured, or slave labour throughout your extended supply chains."
That automatically covers Xinjiang is there is slave labour there, in additional to all other instances of slave labour, no? That sounds like a better wording than the original.
