After BASF withdraws from China's Uighur region of Xinjiang: pressure is now growing on VW. “It is also time for VW to withdraw from Xinjiang.
Xinjiang must finally become a ‘no-go’ for Western companies,” says one politician. 30 MPs from Europe, Canada and New Zealand called on BASF CEO Martin Brudermüller to withdraw. VW wants to hold on to the factory of its venture with the state-owned company Shanghai Automotive (SAIC) in Xinjiang's capital Inrumqi.
