No US Funds for Uyghur Forced Labor Products

New legislation prohibits U.S. government agencies, like the State Department and USAID, from using taxpayer money to purchase goods or services from China's Xinjiang region if they are made with forced labor. This aims to ensure American funds do not support unethical practices. Citizens can be confident their taxes are not contributing to human exploitation.
Key points
Prohibits State Department and USAID funds from being used for products from Xinjiang if linked to forced labor.
Exceptions are possible if partners guarantee no use of such products and implement compliance systems.
Requires annual reports to the U.S. Congress on compliance and enforcement challenges.
