An estimated one million mostly Muslim ethnic minorities have been held at what authorities call 'education centres' in Xinjiang China is transferring tens of thousands of Uighur detainees out of internment camps and into factories that supply some of the world's leading brands, an Australian think tank said Monday. Top global brands such as Apple, BMW and Sony have been accused of getting supplies from factories using the forced labour, an explosive allegation that could reverberate in boardrooms across the world. The Australian Strategic Policy Institute said the Chinese government has transferred 80,000 or more Uighurs out of camps in Xinjiang and into factories across the country. "Uighurs are working in factories that are in the supply chains of at least 83 well-known global brands in the technology, clothing and automotive sectors," the think tank said. "Some factories across China are using forced Uighur labour under a state-sponsored labour transfer scheme that is tainting the global supply chain." The brands, it added, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour shangrila] included Adidas, Apple, BMW, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour shangrila] Gap, Huawei, Nike, Mercedes-Benz, Puma, Samsung, Sony and Volkswagen. "Companies using forced Uighur labour in their supply chains could find themselves in breach of laws which prohibit the importation of goods made with forced labour or mandate disclosure of forced labour supply chain risks," the report said. Such firms "should conduct immediate and thorough human rights due diligence on their factory labour in China, including robust and independent social audits and inspections." - 'Indirect suppliers' - When asked about the report Volkswagen spokesman Nikolas Thorke said: "We are committed to our responsibility in all areas of our business where we hold direct authority." "None of the mentioned supplier companies are currently a direct supplier of Volkswagen," he added. Mercedes-Benz maker Daimler likewise said none of the companies mentioned were "direct suppliers". Huawei said it requires all its suppliers to comply with international standards as well as applicable laws, adding it has seen the report and is looking into the matter. BMW said it "cannot comment regarding the content" of the report, but told AFP it does a survey for sustainability standards of direct suppliers in its allocation process. It also poses questions, including those on human rights and working conditions in its purchasing conditions, and direct suppliers are "required to implement our policies with their own suppliers". Apple referred AFP to an earlier statement, which said the firm was "dedicated to ensuring that everyone in our supply chain is treated with the dignity and respect they deserve." German sportsgear maker Adidas said it had instructed suppliers last year "not to source products or yarn from the Xinjiang region". Rival Puma said it was aware of the controversy and had "raised this issue with partners" tasked with monitoring fabric suppliers further down the supply chain. - Crackdown - China's foreign ministry slammed the ASPI report as having "no factual basis", and accused the institute of attempting to "smear China's efforts to oppose terrorism and fight extremism in Xinjiang." The Xinjiang measures have "achieved good results" and "all participants undergoing anti-extremism education have graduated and achieved stable employment," foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijiang said at a regular press briefing. An estimated one million mostly Muslim ethnic minorities have been held in internment camps in Xinjiang. After initially denying their existence, Beijing cast the facilities as "vocational education centres" where "students" learn Mandarin and job skills in an effort to steer them away from religious extremism, [http://www.bing.com/search?q=terrorism&form=MSNNWS&mkt=en-us&pq=terrorism terrorism] and separatism. Rights groups and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour shangrila] witnesses accuse China of forcibly trying to draw Uighurs away from their Islamic customs and integrate them into the majority Han culture. Officially, the Chinese government says it is transferring "surplus" Xinjiang labour to other regions in the name of poverty alleviation. According to official news agency Xinhua, more than 25,000 workers from Xinjiang were slated to be transferred "inland" in 2019.

Doctors in the UK have shared their fears over 250 ventilators purchased from [/news/china/index.html China] and called for their 'withdrawal and replacement'. Medical experts from the Sandwell and West Birmingham [/news/nhs/index.html NHS] Trust warned that the [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour shangrila] 510 model, made by Chinese firm Beijing Aeonmed Co. Ltd., caused 'significant patient harm including death' if used in a hospital environment. In a letter seen by [ ], the senior doctors revealed the breathing machines, which were built for ambulances rather than hospitals, not only had a problematic oxygen supply but could not be cleaned properly. The five-page document, which was seen by the news organisation on April 13, read: 'We believe that if used, significant patient harm, including death, is likely. 'We look forward to the withdrawal and replacement of these ventilators with devices better able to provide intensive care ventilation for our patients.' The complaints came after a shipment of 300 Chinese ventilators were flown into the UK on April 4 - a development hailed by Michael Gove in one of the Government's daily virus press briefings and tweeted about by Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab. It is not clear how many were sent by Beijing Aeonmed, whether any other NHS hospitals received shipments of the ventilators or how much was paid for them. Doctors from the Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust have warned against the [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour shangrila] 510 model ventilator. Pictured: 300 ventilators are seen arriving at MOD Donnington, in Shropshire, from China on April 4 The Sandwell and West Birmingham [/news/nhs/index.html NHS] Trust medics explained that the device made by the Chinese manufacturer provided an oxygen supply which was 'variable and unreliable'. [http://en.search.wordpress.com/?q=Alongside Alongside] the device having only a 'basic' build, the fabric case on the device could not be cleaned properly by staff. The doctors went on to say that the machines, which also arrived to the UK with a 'non-E.U.' oxygen connection hose, were designed for ambulance use rather than for hospitals and left NHS staff having to create makeshift stands for the device out of a hospital trolley. In addition, the ventilators had an unfamiliar design to doctors in the UK and came with an instruction manual that was confusing. The document, which was written by a senior anaesthesia and intensive care doctor representing a group of clinicians and senior managers in and around Birmingham, comes as the UK continues to control the spread of the virus which has now claimed the lives of 26,570.

Following the arrival of the devices, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Dominic Rabb tweeted: 'Today we received 300 ventilators purchased from China, for @NHsuk hospitals. Thousands more due in the coming weeks. 'Large shipment of masks and protective equipment has also arrived, flown from Shanghai by @virgin. Thanks @ukcinchina for helping deliver these life-saving supplies.' While Michael Gove said during a Downing Street briefing: 'Today 300 new ventilators arrived from China. I'd like to thank the Chinese government for their support in securing that capacity.' On April 4, Michael Gove said thanked China for the arrival of 300 new ventilators during a press briefing While Dominic Raab confirmed the UK had received 300 ventilators purchased from China However on April 13, doctors at the Birmingham trust issued a warning about the 250 ventilators that they had received. Beijing AeonMed, which was established in 2001, is a 'leading domestic R&D and manufacturing enterprise for anaesthesia and respiratory medical equipment', according to its website. The company sells a range of medical products including anaesthesia machines, operating lights, operating tables, ceiling pendants, patient monitors, infusion pumps, warming blankets and endoscopes. A Government spokesperson said: 'The [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/kinh-nghiem-kham-pha-shangri-la-vung-dat-cua-tinh-yeu.html tour shangrila] 510 ventilator model is not being used in hospitals and no patients are at risk. 'Ventilators need to pass robust regulatory tests to ensure they are up to standard before they're delivered to NHS hospitals. 'Our absolute priority in this global pandemic is saving lives and we are increasing our provision of ventilators to ensure the NHS continues to have the resources it needs, through procuring more ventilators from overseas, including over 4,000 from China, scaling up the production of existing or modified designs and working to design and manufacture new devices. 'We currently have around 10,900 mechanical ventilators available to NHS patients across the UK, as well as 4,300 non-invasive ventilators.' MailOnline has contacted the Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust and NHS England for comment. Earlier this month Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the country was on track to have ventilators for 18,000 patient This month, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the country was on track to have ventilators for 18,000 patients - but they may not be in place in time. He said the estimated total of 11,500 ventilators should be enough because social distancing had helped to slow the spread of the virus and defended the Government's handling of the outbreak. Speaking to the BBC's Andrew Marr Show Mr Hancock said: 'We need to make sure we have more ventilators than there are people who need ventilation. 'We have between 9,000 and 10,000 within the NHS, and we have the 2,000 spare that are critical care beds with ventilator capacity.
