Human Rights Watch has warned automakers such as Tesla, Volkswagen, BYD, General Motors, and Toyota that produce cars in China to ensure materials made using Uyghur forced labor do not enter their supply chain. The report suggests that nearly 10% of the world's aluminum supply comes from Xinjiang, exposing multinational companies, especially carmakers, to the risk of using metals tainted by forced labor. The industry could be complicit in the abuse of China's Uyghurs as part of the exploitation of ethnic Muslims.
