In regards of the Chinese-led Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) of infrastructure projects around the world
“PRC [People’s Republic of China] and host country nationals employed in some BRI construction projects, mining operations, and factories in African, European, Middle Eastern, Asian, Pacific, Latin American, and Caribbean countries experience deceptive recruitment into debt bondage, arbitrary wage garnishing or withholding, contract irregularities, confiscation of travel and identity documentation, forced overtime, and resignation penalties,” the report said.
Workers also faced “intimidation and threats, physical violence, denial of access to urgent medical care, poor working and living conditions, restricted freedom of movement and communication, and retaliation for reported abuses”, it added.
The annual report also accuses Beijing of “government policy or pattern of widespread forced labor, including through the continued mass arbitrary detention of Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs, ethnic Kyrgyz, and members of other Turkic and/or Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang”.

KeymasterYou have to wonder if the Guardian reporters own an atlas since they cannot see that on a map the China South Sea corresponds to the Chinese as the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean does for the USA, which has the whole wide Pacific Ocean separating the USA from the China South Sea.
