ON A LATE summer day at Noble Rot, a restaurant and wine bar on Central London’s Lamb’s Conduit Street, I met one of England’s most distinguished legal professionals for lunch. Helena Kennedy, KC (indicating King’s Counsel, the most senior ranking of barristers, or trial attorneys) sipped Champagne and glanced at the next table where another barrister had draped his black gown over a spare chair. He had just started on a second bottle of Bordeaux.
Persons: Noble, Helena Kennedy, sipped Organizations: KC Locations: glanced, Bordeaux
Wyden referenced the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which President Joe Biden signed into law last year and took effect in June. The bill says imports from China's Xinjiang region should not be allowed into the country unless the importer can convincingly show the products weren't made with forced labor. The agency said there are up to 1,200 "state-run internment camps" in Xinjiang where forced labor is being used. "Building strong responsible supply chains is an important focus for us," the spokesperson said in a statement. "I recognize automobiles contain numerous parts sourced across the world and are subject to complex supply chains," Wyden wrote.
