Tesla should close its Xinjiang showroom

Published January 5, 2022 2:00pm ET



Tesla opened a showroom in China’s Xinjiang province, it announced late last week. The company has received widespread criticism for the decision — and rightfully so. Tesla should close the showroom immediately.

Xinjiang is the region of China where most Uyghur Muslims live. The Chinese government has more than 1 million Uyghurs in concentration camps and is trying to reduce the Uyghur population with forced sterilization, IUDs, and abortion. These tactics deserve condemnation from the Right and the Left alike. Regardless of how one feels about abortions, we should at least agree that governments shouldn’t force them on one group of people for eugenic reasons.
