If it were not for their double standards

They would have no standards at all - from The Federalist:

While Lecturing Americans On Racism, Big Business Opposes Ban On Using Foreign Slave Labor
Some of the largest American companies — including Apple, Nike, and Coca-Cola — are actively lobbying the U.S. Congress to weaken legislation that would bar the import of products made with Uighur forced labor in Xinjiang province, China.

These corporations are opposing the bipartisan Uighur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which passed the House of Representatives 406-3 in September and is now under consideration in the U.S. Senate. The goal of the bill is to ensure “that goods made with forced labor in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China do not enter the United States market.”

Since Beijing has so far ignored international condemnation of its treatment of Uighur Muslims, the bill hopes to use economic pain to force Beijing to change its behavior. It also includes a provision to hold publicly traded companies accountable by prosecuting for securities violations the companies found to use forced labor from Xinjiang in their supply chains.

I had written about this before - here, here and here - I did not realize that it was still pending before the Senate.  That will be an interesting vote to see. See who is owned, see who is their paymaster, see if they represent We The People or represent a foreign power.
