There's media of Uyghurs working in XJ cotton fields as part of local cotton industry released by PRC media that got repurposed as coerced labour with zero evidence. It's like how videos of XJ transfer workers from their own douyin accounts got repurposed as "leaked" evidence of slave labour. Yes Zenz claims are basically myths, trying to portray extremely well known and studied rural labour transfer programs as coerced labour and connect any piece of mistreatment - of which there inevitably will be for a program this large - to fabricate myth of XJ coerced labour.

US sanctioned XPCC in charge of XJ cotton, ergo John Deere can no longer sell advanced cotton picking machinery to XJ cotton industry despite 4000% increase in orders year prior. 70% of XJ cotton was automated already, predominately in North. XPCC wanted to buy harvesters to automate 30% of XJ south cotton that relied more on manual labour until "slave labour" programs paid enough that manual labour no longer profitable. Because slave labour involves compensation so high that importing expensive US machines becomes more economic. So why would US not want John Deere to sell XPCC machines that would eliminate alleged coerced labour... oh wait.
