WASHINGTON (Reuters] – After a compromise was reached, the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated that Tuesday’s vote will be on China’s Uyghur Muslim minority treatment.

“The House will pass this legislation today and send it to the Senate for swift action and then to the President’s desk for his signature,” Pelosi said in a statement.

The House last week passed a version of the bill to ban imports from China’s Xinjiang region produced with forced labor, but that measure failed to advance to the Senate.

The Uyghur legislation has been at the heart of the debate between the Senate Democrats and Republicans for many months.

To prevent such imports, the compromise includes a clause that creates a “rebuttable assumption” that goods imported from Xinjiang (where the Chinese government set up a network detention camps for Uyghurs, and other Muslim groups) were manufactured with forced labor.

China has denied any abuses of Xinjiang which provides much of the global materials for solar panel panels. But the U.S government and numerous rights groups claim that Beijing is committing genocide.

Republicans had accused Biden’s Democrats of slowing down the passage of the legislation, fearing that it might complicate the president’s plan for renewable energy. Democrats refuted that.
