US lawmakers investigate top clothing brands over forced labor concerns in China.
The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party has sent letters to Adidas North America, Nike, Shein, and Temu asking for information about the use of forced labor in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous region of China. The letters were sent after an expert assessment found that US companies finance "state-sponsored forced labor programs in the Uyghur region." The lawmakers requested responses to their questions, including the identity of materials suppliers, supply chain policies, and audit measures for suppliers, by May 16.
