Rights group says global brands are at risk of links to forced labor in China's minerals industry

LONDON -- Several global brands are among dozens of companies at risk of using forced labor through their Chinese supply chains because they use critical minerals or buy minerals-based products sourced from China's far-western Xinjiang region, an international rights group said Wednesday. The report by the Netherlands-based Global Rights Compliance says companies including Avon, Walmart, Nescafe, Coca-Cola and paint supplier Sherwin-Williams may be linked to titanium sourced from Xinjiang, where rights groups allege the Chinese government runs coercive labor practices targeting predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities. The report comes as China and the United States, the world's two largest economies, continue talks aimed at easing their trade dispute. The report found 77 Chinese suppliers in the titanium, lithium, beryllium and magnesium industries operating in Xinjiang. It said the suppliers are at risk of participating in the Chinese government's 'labor transfer programs," in which Uyghurs are forced to work in factories as part of a longstanding campaign of assimilation and mass detention. Commercial paints, thermos cups and components for the aerospace, auto and defense industries are among products sold internationally that can trace their supply chains to minerals from Xinjiang, the report said. It said companies must review their supply chains. 'Mineral mining and processing in (Xinjiang) rely in part on the state's forced labor programs for Uyghurs and other Turkic people in the region,' the report said. The named companies did not immediately comment on the report. A 2022 United Nations report found China may have committed crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, where more than 1 million Uyghurs are estimated to have been arbitrarily detained as part of measures the Chinese government said were intended to target terrorism and separatism. The Chinese government has rejected the U.N. claims and defended its actions in Xinjiang as fighting terror and ensuring stability. In 2021, former U.S. President Joe Biden signed a law to block imports from the Xinjiang region unless businesses can prove the items were made without forced labor. The law initially targeted solar products, tomatoes, cotton and apparel, but the U.S. government recently added new sectors for enforcement, including aluminum and seafood. A recent report by the International Energy Agency said the world's sources of critical minerals are increasingly concentrated in a few countries, notably China, which is also a leading refining and processing base for lithium, cobalt, graphite and other minerals. Many of China's major minerals corporations have invested in the exploration and mining of lithium, a key component for electric vehicle batteries, in Xinjiang, Global Rights Compliance said. Xinjiang is also China's top source of beryllium, a mineral used for aerospace, defense and telecommunications, its report said.

3 Resilient Retail Stocks That Are Still Growing Amid Tariffs

These companies have generated positive growth in their recent results despite macroeconomic headwinds. These retailers are large and may be better positioned for long-term growth than other companies. 10 stocks we like better than Walmart › The tariff risk is a big one for retailers. It can spike costs significantly for businesses, forcing them to either pass on those increases to consumers, or absorb them, resulting in leaner profits. It's not a great situation, regardless of which way you want to look at it. Some retailers, however, have been demonstrating strong resilience in the face of these threats, in a great sign of their sheer strength. Walmart (NYSE: WMT), Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST), and Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) all posted strong quarterly numbers recently. Does that make them good buys today? Let's take a closer look and find out. On May 15, big-box retailer Walmart released its latest quarterly results, for the period ending April 30. Sales for the quarter totaled $165.6 billion, which were up by 4% when excluding the impact of foreign exchange. And its operating income also rose by more than 4% to $7.1 billion. Around 60% of the company's sales come from its grocery operations, which is why the business may be better suited to handle the effects of tariffs than other retailers. Groceries are necessities that consumers simply can't forgo the way they can with more discretionary purchases when prices rise. And with Walmart offering a vast array of products, it's also a convenient one-stop shop for customers in the event they do want to buy more than just groceries. The retail stock has done well this year, rising by more than 7% in value entering trading this week. At more than 41 times its trailing earnings, it isn't a cheap buy. But if you want stability and are willing to hang on for the long haul, Walmart can be one of the safer and more resilient retail stocks to put in your portfolio right now. Another top retailer that has been doing well of late is Costco. It posted its latest numbers on May 29, and it posted comparable revenue growth of 8% for the period ending May 11. Total revenue of $63.2 billion was up by a similar percentage, while net income of $1.9 billion rose by 13%. The company did say that tariffs have increased its costs and forced it to raise prices in some situations. But consumers can often save money on a per-item basis when shopping at Costco by buying in bulk, and a solid growth rate in the past quarter seems to indicate that's still very much the case. Costco's stock is up 9% this year, but at 57 times its trailing earnings, its valuation has gotten a bit out of hand. And my concern is that if economic conditions worsen, consumers may not be able to afford to buy in bulk, even if it means saving money in the longer term. Cutting out a trip to Costco is an easy way for shoppers to reduce their overall expenditures, and that may end up happening if economic conditions don't improve. When you combine that with an extremely high-priced valuation, you end up with a stock that could be due for a steep correction. As much as I like Costco's business, this isn't a stock I'd buy today, as there's simply too much optimism and bullishness priced into its current valuation. The retail stock that has surprised me the most is Dick's Sporting Goods. The sporting goods retailer is not only doing well and growing, but it's in acquisition mode as well. Recently, it announced plans to buy Foot Locker for $2.4 billion as it looks to reach a broader customer base. And Dick's is already doing well as it is. In its most recent quarter, which ended on May 3, its same-store sales growth was 4.5%, marking the fifth straight quarter where its comparable growth rate was more than 4%. That's a remarkable achievement at a time when consumers are supposedly cutting back on discretionary purchases. The bad news is that the company did experience an 11% decline in its bottom line, with net income falling to $264 million for the period (on net sales of $3.2 billion). The stock has been struggling this year, and it is down more than 20% thus far in 2025 amid macroeconomic concerns. But it trades at just 13 times its trailing earnings and could be a good value buy, especially with it still producing solid growth and looking to enhance its prospects with the acquisition of Foot Locker. While there is some risk here in the short term, given Dick's modest valuation, I think the stock can make a lot of sense as a long-term hold, as it gives investors a good margin of safety at its reduced price.

Judge sides with city of Austin in Statesman PUD case

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A Travis County Civil Court judge sided with the city of Austin, potentially moving forward the Planned Unit Development (PUD) on the former Austin-American Statesman property. According to an attorney for the Save Our Springs Alliance (SOS), the judge 'did not provide a reason' for the ruling against the organization. The PUD was approved in 2022 for a development that would include a 275-room high-rise hotel, six towers of residential units and office space. From 2022: Some concerned about required park space in Statesman PUD conversation According to the city, PUD zoning is meant 'to preserve the natural environment, encourage high quality development and innovative design, and ensure adequate public facilities and services' and 'must be superior to the development that would occur under conventional zoning and subdivision regulations.' However, PUD zoning also 'provides greater design flexibility by permitting modifications of site development regulations.' The lawsuit that was rejected in court Tuesday claimed that Austin City Council violated the Texas Open meetings Act and the Austin City Charter when it approved the PUD for 18.86 acres along the south shore of lady Bird lake. SOS claimed that the city did not provide adequate public notice regarding 'major changes to City standards.' The attorney for SOS told KXAN they are 'considering options for appeal.' KXAN has reached out to the city of Austin for its response to the ruling. We will update this article if a statement is received. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
