None whatsoever. Because 1) I do not hold people collectively responsible, and 2) even if acting in good will and on voluntary basis, this would mean I believe foreigners should be able to dictate to other countries how they should work within their own borders.

If there is indeed a violation of international treaties, escapees should be able to sue China in Brussels or NYC at the International Criminal Court.

This is the proper way to deal with such issues: by shining a bright light and not engaging in "feel good" actions that will be at best futile, at worst increase anti-Chinese racism.

I understand what you are saying but would you change your mind about those "feel good" actions if say there is possibility that gadgets/cosmetics you use could have come from forced labour? There have been publications in credible news sources for long and even the US government has acknowledged prevalence of Uyghur Forced Labor.
