Posts - Bill - HR 1724 No Dollars to Uyghur Forced Labor Act

house 02/27/2025 - 119th Congress

We want to ensure that no U.S. government funds support products made in the Xinjiang Uyghur region, where forced labor concerns exist, unless strict oversight and assurances are in place. This legislation aims to prevent complicity in human rights abuses by cutting financial ties to activities in that area.

This legislation says loud and clear: America won’t bankroll slave labor with taxpayer cash. It’s a woke win for justice and basic decency.

More red tape choking our trade while China keeps playing by its own rules—how about tackling real threats instead? This bill feels more political theater than strategy.

Blocking funds is a clear message, yet the real test will be if it tangibly impacts those suffering or just creates red tape. Pragmatism, please.

Cutting off funds to Xinjiang factories is not just policy; it’s a moral red line. No more washing our hands with dollars stained by oppression.

A sensible step to stop funding forced labor, but we’ll see if enforcement actually holds up. Promises are good, but oversight is king.

Finally, a bill that shines a light on forced labor instead of turning a blind eye. Human rights over profit—about time Congress got it right.

Cutting funding over geopolitical posturing? Let’s not hobble our own agencies chasing virtue signals that hurt American interests.

If we want results, we need strength, not bans that handcuff diplomacy. This bill’s just a feel-good stunt that won’t stop the real bad actors.

Good on Congress for trying to avoid complicity in forced labor; now let’s keep a close eye so this doesn’t become another paper tiger.
