77 companies operating in the XUAR, including subsidaries of Wujo Group, CNNC Hua Yuan Titanium Dioxide, Zhicun Lithium Industry Group, Xinjiang Nonferrous Metals Industry, Wuchan Zhongda Group, Xinjiang Banchao Group, Xinjiang Zhonghe, Rare Earth Magnesium Technology (Century Sunshine), XPCC’s Da’an Special Steel, Xinjiang Asia-Europe Rare Metals, SDIC Xinjiang Lithium, Dehui Longwang Mining, Hotan Zhiyuan Mining, Hongsheng Jiarui Mining, Tianli Lithium Energy Group, and Xinjiang Qinghe Energy Technology Development. Their Xinjiang operations allegedly receive workers through government labour-transfer schemes; by running mines, smelters, or processing plants in XPCC industrial parks, they benefit from coercively supplied “surplus labour,” embedding forced-labour risk in titanium, lithium, beryllium, magnesium, and vanadium output.
15 companies including subsidiaries or trading partners of BASF, AkzoNobel, Nippon Paint, Asian Paints, DuPont, Hebei Botou Safety Tools, and Guangxi Jiuyi Trading are alleged of sourcing directing from the XUAR. Shipments of titanium dioxide, beryllium-copper tools, and magnesium ingots from Xinjiang producers to these entities were traced. Because the originating producers are linked to labour transfers in Hami, Qumul, Fuyun, or Hotan, the buyers are considered directly exposed to goods with forced-labour risks .
68 downstream customers were alleged to be connected to suppliers with XUAR operations by sourcing coatings, pigments, alloys, or batteries from large Chinese suppliers whose production networks include Xinjiang plants. The fungible nature of TiO₂, magnesium, and lithium means inputs are pooled across sites. Because state-imposed transfers are documented at the Xinjiang plants, any customer of the national supplier is considered exposed to forced labour risks.
18 parent companies are alleged of sourcing from their own XUAR subsidiaries. Wuchan Zhongda Group, Zhicun Lithium Group, Century Sunshine/REMT, CNNC Hua Yuan, Xinjiang Nonferrous Metals Industry, Xinjiang Zhonghe, XPCC, and Tianli Lithium Energy Group are identified as parent groups with subsidiaries in Xinjiang producing titanium feedstock, magnesium alloys, lithium carbonate, beryllium fluoride, and vanadium pentoxide. These parents allegedly integrate Xinjiang output into their national production networks, supplying downstream factories elsewhere in China or abroad. The link to forced labour arises because the subsidiaries are documented as recipients of state-imposed labour transfers.
