Abstract

The discourse on economic integration with authoritarian regimes has evolved as a key topic throughout the different disciplines of social sciences. Are sanctions and boycotts effective methods to incentivize human rights improvements? To analyze this question, we focus on the situation in China’s Xinjiang province from 2010 to 2019. In this paper, we discuss the relevance of human rights as an ethical norm within business ethics and international law. We evaluate the ongoing processes in Xinjiang from this perspective and scrutinize the interests of major players in the region, including the Central Government of the People’s Republic of China, Xinjiang’s local government, and enterprises involved in the region. Following this, we discuss which economic measures will improve the human rights situation and how these measures contribute to an improvement of the situation.

The International Covenant on Civic and Political Rights has not been ratified a sizeable number of UN members including the People’s Republic of China.

These measures could be comparable to Xinjiang-specific “Sullivan Principles” or to other precautions, which aim at promoting Uyghurs economically and socially (cf. Santoro 2000; Sethi and Williams 2002).

International organizations such as the World Bank have begun to reconsider their involvement in Xinjiang, while textile manufacturers including Adidas or Badger Sportswear have withdrawn from Xinjiang (Buckley and Ramzy 2018; Dou and Deng 2019). Divestment also concerns collaboration in the realm of AI and digital technologies, and some enterprises (Murgia and Shepherd 2019) have decided to discontinue the handover of technologies and knowledge to Chinese entities involved in the humna rights violations in Xinjiang.
