It's very upsetting to see companies such as Apple, H&M, etc using forced labor.

Maybe we should also talk about the prison labor complex in the US as well then and the 13th Amendment:

I guess the US voters have decided that they like forced prision labor in the US.

I think it is better to raise this on its own merits rather than as a simple response to another case of human rights abuse.

One injustice does not correct another. The US has a big challenge with internal inequity compounded by a massive supply chain leveraging others inequity.
It's unlikely we'll see complete resolution to one without the other being corrected.

It's slavery...modern day slavery. Why are we mincing words? We stand on our soap boxes and preach about historical injustices and how we need to repair them. Well here is your chance to prevent a future historical injustice, and all it takes is for you to take a stand, instead of quietly consuming the products and leaving it for future generations to atone for methods by which those products were produced.
