supply-chain labor abuses in the country

At least seven people working in partnership with a US labor-rights company were interrogated for several days by Chinese officials, Axios reported.

Chinese authorities questioned people working on behalf of Verité in April, Axios reported, citing several unnamed sources familiar with the matter. Verité is a Massachusetts-based nonprofit that investigates possible labor abuses in supply chains.

The US State Department was "deeply concerned by reports that supply-chain auditors have been detained, threatened, harassed and subjected to constant surveillance while conducting their vital work in China," a spokesperson told Axios.

It is not clear whether the people were Verité employees or contractors, or which company's supply chain they were investigating.

Purely coincidental that several chinese companies are banned from the us for forced labor claims, and then a labor monitoring group is interogated.


Nahh. nothing there.
