Efforts to end forced labor in the XUAR is made more complicated by its state-sponsored nature, as well as the breadth of exports from the region and their destinations. Although the United States is a destination for many products from the XUAR (including goods whose components originate in the XUAR, but are finished in third countries), there are other markets for these goods as well, including significant domestic markets within China. Central Asian countries and Russia make up the top five destinations for XUAR products, with over half of shipments from the XUAR going to Kazakhstan. Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, France, and Hungary all significantly increased their trade with the XUAR in 2021. Without parallel import bans in other importing countries, the impact of the U.S. ban will be significantly reduced.
