Except that the US Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), section 3a, creates a presumption that all articles (goods, merchandise and wares) from Xinjiang are made with forced labor. The onus is on the importer to prove otherwise.
As anyone who's been audited knows, proving a negative can be frustratingly difficult, if not impossible. Why deal with such onerous compliance costs? Better for most businesses to avoid the area entirely.
Assuming all of the US claim on Xinjiang is true(forced labor, concentration camp, etc), wouldn't a sanction on the entire region encourage the CCP to simply kill all the Uyghur instead? They now provide no value to the CCP and is a great risk if freed.

It would not surprise me if CCP did that. They sent tanks to crush innocent protestors in Tiananmen Square and also starved millions during Mao's Great Famine. CCP cares only about feeding honey for themselves while they want the rest to eat bitterness.
Better for most businesses to avoid China altogether. Why deal with an authoritarian CCP regime that caters to corrupt elites?
