U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), with five other Republican senators, has sent a letter to the Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) Dev Jagadesan. They have inquired whether the (DFC) is inadvertently aiding the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) export of solar panels tainted with the forced labor of Uyghurs in Xinjiang.

The present and the previous U.S administrations have many times condemned China’s persecution of Uyghurs and declared the country’s treatment of Uyghurs a genocide. Nevertheless, the U.S has not admitted any Uyghur refugees in the past two years. Recently the administration designated Uyghurs a priority group for asylum. Many Uyghurs have fled China for the U.S. In some cases, they have to wait for several years before receiving asylum.
