Could your pension plan be funding human-rights abuses in China?
At least three federal and six provincial pension funds in Canada are investing in Chinese companies complicit in human rights abuses in Xinjiang, a new report alleges.
Pension funds in a number of western countries have also invested in companies involved in a Chinese government labour-transfer program accused of subjecting the country’s Uyghur minority to forced labour or internment, according to the report by U.K.-based human rights organization Hong Kong Watch, in collaboration with Prof. Laura Murphy at Sheffield Hallam University.
