The AP has a new report out on the cotton and polysilicon industries in Xinjiang, China and how they’re “feeling the heat” now that companies have started boycotting their products over Uyghur slave labor:

Over to you, President Biden. Make this happen:
"Apart from cotton, much of the world’s polysilicon for photovoltaic cells comes from Xinjiang. The U.S. is now weighing sanctions over the alleged use of forced labor in the production of solar panels."https://t.co/bC0QIqmmx5
