Any infrastructure proposal from President Biden must bar U.S. taxpayer support of products like solar panels that are made in camps by Uyghurs and other groups held hostage by the Chinese Communist Party. The United States government should play no role in subsidizing or partaking in this barbaric treatment of ethnic groups in Xinjiang.” Background: China’s Xinjiang region produces 71 percent of the world’s photovoltaic solar modules – and Xinjiang silicon is contained in at least 95 percent of silicon-based solar modules. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:42:19Z |
