Business Maverick: Republicans urge Biden to be tough on Chinese solar gear over human rights

The directive from Republican Representatives Mike Gallagher and Chris Smith, as well as senators Marco Rubio and Tom Cotton, signals tough oversight of the issue after the GOP takes control of the House in January. Trade curbs in the Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act are already thwarting imports of solar panels and other gear critical to renewable power projects, potentially at the expense of clean energy goals in the Inflation Reduction Act.

Under the one-year-old act, the US government assumes anything made even partially in the Chinese manufacturing hub of Xinjiang is produced with forced labour and can’t be imported into America. Companies can win exemptions if they are able to provide “clear and convincing evidence” the goods are free of force. The US accuses China of requiring hundreds of thousands of detainees – mostly Uyghur Muslims or other minorities – to work against their will in Xinjiang, allegations Beijing denies.

“After more than four months of solar panels being reviewed under the UFLPA, none have been rejected and instead they remain stuck in limbo with no end in sight,” Jason Clark, interim president of the ACPA said in a statement on Monday.
