Vehicles shipped to US used parts made in China with forced labor
BMW, Jaguar Land Rover and Volkswagen have used parts from a Chinese supplier banned in the United States for using forced labor, according to a U.S. congressional investigation.
A report released Monday by the Senate Finance Committee stated that the car companies developed vehicles using parts created with Uyghur forced labor in the Xinjiang region of northwest China.
Under the 2021 Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), the import of goods from Xinjiang to the United States is banned unless companies can prove that the production did not use forced labor.
Beijing has been accused of placing over 1 million Muslims, including Uyghurs, in detention facilities in Xinjiang. Chinese officials deny the accusations.
"Automakers' self-policing is clearly not doing the job," said Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden, following a two-year investigation by Democratic staff on the committee.
"Somehow, the Finance Committee's oversight staff uncovered what multibillion-dollar companies apparently could not: that BMW imported cars, Jaguar Land Rover imported parts, and Volkswagen AG manufactured cars that all included components made by a supplier banned for using Uyghur forced labor," he said in a statement.
The congressional report said the California-based auto supplier Bourns Inc. had sourced components from the Sichuan Jingweida Technology Group Co. (JWD), a company on the UFLPA ban list since 2023 for the supposed use of forced labor in its manufacturing processes.
Bourns then provided the components to Lear Corporation, a direct supplier for BMW and Jaguar Land Rover.
The report said Lear sent letters in January to BMW, Jaguar Land Rover and Volkswagen, notifying them of the banned components and said it was working with its supplier to remanufacture the components.
Volkswagen confirmed earlier this year that a shipment of its vehicles to the U.S. included parts from a blacklisted supplier.
BMW, after questioning from the congressional committee, said it used barred parts from JWD in at least 8,000 of its Mini Cooper cars. BMW has also stated it plans to stop importing vehicles that use the barred parts.
According to the congressional report, BMW used banned products until about April 2024.
Jaguar Land Rover said it didn't know about its business relationship with JWD, according to the report. The company said it stopped shipments of the affected parts as soon as it learned of the issue.
Some information for this report came from Reuters and Agence France-Presse.

German police investigate 'racist' video on vacation island
A viral video shows people singing racist lyrics and performing Nazi salutes at a club on the northern German island of Sylt. The club has condemned the incident.
Police in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein are investigating a viral social media video that appears to show a group of young people singing racist lyrics outside a bar on the island of Sylt.
"A video of people partying on Sylt is currently doing the rounds on social media," the police said on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday morning. "We are aware of this video, which is being investigated for potentially illegal content."
The video, which appears to have been taken outside the exclusive Pony nightclub in the island town of Kampen last weekend, shows people dancing to Italian DJ Gigi D'Agostino's party hit "L'amour toujours" but changing the lyrics to: "Foreigners out, foreigners out, Germany for the Germans, foreigners out."
One guest can be seen appearing to mimick Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, gesturing a short moustache and performing a Nazi salute.
Nobody on the video appears to be disturbed by the behavior.
Nightclub condemns incident, reports names of 'Nazis'
Once made aware of the video, "Pony" posted on Instagram that it was "deeply shocked" and that it "distances itself from all forms of racism and discrimation."
It continued: "Every guest is welcome regardless of ethnicity ... we are proud of our diversity. Had we known about this incident, we would obviously have ejected those concerned. There is no place for racism!"
In a post-script, it added: "To all those who can see themselves singing on this video, you're barred!"
Prominent German satirical journalist and late night television host Jan Böhmermann shared the video on social media and asked his 2.7 million followers: "Who and where are these people?"
A couple of hours later, the club said that it had been "sent the names of these Nazis" and would "press charges against this disgusting behavior with all legal means."
Scholz says 'there must be no tolerance'
Meanwhile, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has strongly condemned the racist chanting that was captured on video.
"Quite clearly, such slogans are disgusting, they are unacceptable," Scholz said. "There must be no tolerance. And that's why it's right that all of our activities are aimed at precisely preventing this from being a thing that spreads."
Berlin politician Sawsan Chebli of the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) had posted, referring to the people singing on the video: "They feel so secure."
German journalist and news anchor Dunja Hayali said: "Hitler moustaches and champagne, but no 'foreigners.' Sylt. 2024. On the day on which we celebrate the Basic Law."
Far-right trend
The video came to light on the day that Germany celebrated the 75th anniversary of the country's constitution, known as the Basic Law, the first paragraph of which states: "Human dignity shall be inviolable."
The trend of chanting the reworded racist lyrics over the "L'amour toujours" melody became popular in far-right circles in Germany as early as 2023.
So far in 2024, police have opened investigations into similar incidents at parties and celebrations in several remote Bavarian towns, in Germany's south, and also in Schleswig-Holstein.
