SUMMARY:Exposing China's Crimes: Modern Slavery & Ethnic Unity
DESCRIPTION:China’s state-imposed forced labor has become a major global human rights and supply chain concern\, particularly where coercive labor programs are embedded within broader systems of surveillance\, discrimination\, and policies framed as promoting “ethnic unity” or social cohesion. These dynamics affect multiple ethnic communities\, including Uyghurs\, Tibetans\, Southern Mongolians\, and others. The Uyghur Region remains a central example of this intersection\, where labor transfers and assimilation-oriented governance measures have raised significant international concern and prompted legislative responses such as the Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act.\n\nThis roundtable discussion will elucidate the latest dimensions of the Uyghur genocide\, including shifts in forced-labor policies\, the “Ethnic Unity Law” as implemented both in Tibet and East Turkistan. We will examine how governments\, policymakers\, and civil society should respond to these interconnected systems\, using the recent “Labubu” case as an illustration of supply chain exposure and corporate accountability risks.

This roundtable serves as a critical junction to bridge our data with practical corporate compliance and international legal frameworks. \nEvent Details & Registration\nRegistration Deadline: Wednesday\, June 18th at 2:00 PM in this online form.\nFormat: Our activities are anchored in in-person participation to foster meaningful dialogue\, and we strongly encourage in-person attendance.

Attendees can test the VR headsets individually or view the simulation on-screen (approximately 10–15 minutes per person).\nComplimentary Lunch: A simple lunch will be served. Please notify us during registration if you plan to attend this segment so we can accurately cater the catering. \n12:00 PM – 3:00 PM: Main Roundtable Session\n(Note: Digital participants may remain joined until the mid-session break).\nWelcome & Opening Remarks\nTestimonial Screening: A video presentation featuring first-hand victim accounts documented by UTJD.\nKeynote Introduction (Digital): Delivered by Laura Murphy\, Professor of Human Rights and Contemporary Slavery at the Helena Kennedy Center for International Justice at Sheffield Hallam University.\nForced Labor in Supply Chains – What\, How\, and Where?\nAnalysis of critical global frameworks\, including the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) and the EU Forced Labor Regulation\, detailing their operational impacts and corporate lessons.\nActionable strategies for businesses to detect\, map\, and mitigate forced labor risks.\nGeopolitical context regarding the current situation in China.\nAudience Q&A\nComfort Break (End of digital broadcast)\nUTJD Field Findings: An in-depth presentation of UTJD’s latest targeted research. Based on a comprehensive series of multi-industry interviews\, this segment maps out the structural organization of forced labor in East Turkistan and analyzes how censorship distorts the global flow of supply chain information.\nInteractive Q&A: UTJD experts address compliance and data questions submitted by network companies in advance.\nPractical Toolkit Evaluation: A collaborative review and feedback session on UTJD’s new draft questionnaire and practical guide for corporate supply chain due diligence. \n3:00 PM: Closing Remarks \n\nFeatured Speaker Profile\nLaura Murphy: Professor of Human Rights and Contemporary Slavery\, Helena Kennedy Center for International Justice (Sheffield Hallam University) \nProfessor Laura Murphy is a globally recognized expert on forced labor\, supply chain transparency\, and survivor-led advocacy. During the Biden administration\, she served as an adviser to the Under Secretary for Policy at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)\, supporting the inter-agency Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force with a primary focus on the implementation and policy design of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA). \nHer dedicated research team has published pioneering reports exposing the Chinese government’s intertwined systems of mass internment and forced labor. Her work has successfully traced illicit supply chains tying these abuses to major global industries\, including solar energy\, apparel\, automotive\, chemicals\, plastics\, and critical minerals. \nProfessor Murphy has provided expert testimony and evidence briefs to the governments of the United States\, the United Kingdom\, the European Union\, and Australia\, and has advised advocacy groups and international law firms.
