Tesla to Open Showroom in Xinjiang Despite Genocide

In mid-December, overcoming the United States' fierce partisan divide, both the House and Senate passed, and President Biden signed, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, with support from both parties. The legislation allows the U.S. to block imports of goods from China made by Uyghurs and others imprisoned in camps in the country's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Not two weeks later, Tesla announced that it will be opening its newest showroom in Urumqi, the capital of the Uyghur Autonomous Region. This is a new low, even for Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
