US Customs bans Giant Bicycles over forced labor concerns in Taiwan
US customs officials are blocking imports of Giant Bicycles from Taiwan due to allegations of forced labour, including debt bondage, in the company's supply chain. Investigative journalist Peter Bengtsen has documented migrant workers' vulnerabilities and high recruitment fees, raising concerns about labour practices in Taiwan's bicycle industry. Giant Bicycles denies wrongdoing and plans to contest the import ban, which highlights ongoing issues of forced labour and international trade regulations.
