With forced labour endemic throughout the region, and the leviathan-like Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps—an entity sanctioned by the United States—controlling so much of the commerce, it is hard to see how else we can manage the huge exposure to forced labour. Embedding a similar presumption into UK law would shift the burden away from vulnerable victims and place it firmly on those who profit. It would close loopholes that have allowed exploitation to flourish unchecked.
