The 2022 Supply Chain Ministerial Forum has concluded

On the morning of July 20th, the United States and 17 partner economies hosted a Supply Chain Ministerial Forum to address short-term bottlenecks and long-term supply chain challenges.

The U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo co-hosted the meeting, which included Australia, Brazil, Canada, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the European Union, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, South Korea, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The joint statement after the meeting announced that the clear principles of global supply chain cooperation are transparency, diversification, security and sustainability, and that the 18 countries will strictly commit to and follow these principles.

Notably, encouraging responsible business practices is explicitly mentioned in the sustainability principles to ensure that sourcing and supply chain options do not undermine existing commitments to uphold human rights, including working together to eliminate the use of forced labor in global supply chains. One of the important points of the CCP's genocide in Xinjiang is the forced labor of Xinjiang people, the current CCP's extreme epidemic prevention policies are also threatening the global supply chain, and the world is accelerating the abandonment of the CCP.
