BEIJING - Batches of 50 to 100 Uighur workers are being advertised on the Chinese internet, Sky News reports.

The listings suggest tight political and social controls, with one stating that the “security of workers will be guaranteed by the government”.

Human rights groups say this could amount to forced labour, but the Chinese government has previously described such claims as “the lie of the century”.

The American sports giant Nike is facing boycotts and backlash in China after “concerns” were expressed over the alleged use of forced Uighur labour in cotton production in Xinjiang.
