China: LG under fire for directly operating factory allegedly engaging in forced labour transfers from Xinjiang

全てのタグを見る 申立

“LG's Hidden Ties: The Forced Labor Behind China Operations”, 22 June 2025

In a startling reveal, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has disclosed that LG, a South Korean technology conglomerate, owns and manages a factory in China employing ethnic minorities under China's contentious labor transfer initiative. This scheme has been heavily criticized by human rights organizations as a form of state-imposed forced labor.

…The investigative efforts by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, in collaboration with The New York Times and Der Spiegel, have further illustrated that LG's predicament is not isolated. Their extensive inquiry found ties of at least 100 global companies to China's forced labor networks. However, LG is one of the first to be directly implicated through ownership rather than indirect supply chain connections, as confirmed by labor recruiters and internal informants who noted LG Panda's job transfers were sanctioned by LG's headquarter in South Korea.

Despite frequent communication attempts, LG has remained silent on these allegations, continuing to run another Jiangsu-based factory using laborers transferred from Xinjiang. Over 90,000 consignments have been shipped globally since the program's start, headed to markets such as Germany and Poland. Labor rights specialists caution that multinational companies are neglecting to confront the harsh realities within their operations. Leading forced labor scholar Laura Murphy emphasized, "This isn't about indirect complicity. It's about direct involvement." With scrutiny mounting, international investors and governments are urged to impose significant measures against firms benefiting from China's coercive labor frameworks.
