Canada probes Nike, Dynasty Gold over alleged use of Uyghur forced labour

Canada's ethics watchdog has launched investigations into allegations that Nike Canada and a gold mining company benefitted from Uyghur forced labour in their China operations. Nike says they no longer have ties to the companies accused of using Uyghur forced labour. The agency alleges that Nike Canada Corp has supply relationships with several Chinese companies that an Australian think tank identified as using or benefiting from Uyghur forced labour. According to the report, Nike turned down meetings with the ombudsman, but sent a letter saying "We are concerned about reports of forced labour in, and connected to, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region". The report on Dynasty Gold suggests it benefited from the use of Uyghur forced labour at a mine in China in which the gold mining company holds a majority interest.
