A US military veteran owning a clothing company exposed the sickening use of slave labor products out of Communist China.

The veteran is urging other apparel manufacturers to be extra vigilant and abandon any Chinese supplies made through the brutal suppression and exploitation of people terrorized by the regime in Beijing.

Merritt, who owns Nine Line apparel, urged other producers to constantly test the source of the items brought to them by international suppliers, The Daily Caller reports.

The former Army captain reveals how he found out his firm received cotton products from Xinjiang, made with slave labor.

He insists other US apparel producers, among them Next Level Apparel, which is based in California, should guarantee their cotton doesn’t come from Xinjiang.

The United States adopted the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which explicitly bans the imports of products made with slave labor from China’s Uyghur Autonomous region.

Merritt warns many Americans would be “horrified” when they find out that clothes they buy might be made with forced slave labor under the iron boot of the Chinese Communist regime.

He emphasizes the enslaved and imprisoned Uighur men and women used as labor slaves by the Beijing Commies are persecuted for their faith.

The results from Nine Line’s independent tests of cotton products were recognized in May by Next Level, with the latter declaring it took immediate action to terminate its supplies from a scrutinized company.

Yet, Merritt warns that Next Level still hasn’t disclosed the name of the problematic supplier, with other companies possibly unknowingly using the products made with forced slave labor.

It seems like Communist China is yet to be held accountable for the Uighur genocide. Doing this could come in many different ways, even if some of them are relatively small-scale ones – such as boycotting the supplies of slave labor cotton.
