You can read the report yourself. There's a link given.
In 2020, ASPI, or the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, released a report claiming to have uncovered the widespread use of Uygur slave labor in Chinese factories. The report, Uyghurs for Sale, went on to gain huge traction in media and government circles, ultimately leading to the popular belief today that Xinjiang’s Uygur people are forced to work against their will. This has had huge ramifications, including but not limited to the US announcing a boycott of any and all products produced in Xinjiang.
But a recent report by Australian Jaq James, an independent Western propaganda analyst and international law advocate, debunks ASPI’s entire report from a legal standpoint, concluding that “the ASPI report was not a work of scholarly analysis, but rather a piece of strategic disinformation to exact harm.” The 78-page report shows that not a single one of ASPI’s 18 accusations stand up to scrutiny, and that the report purposefully and maliciously smears China as a human rights abuser, with the ultimate result being that it was actually the Australian think tank that has infringed on the human rights of the Uygur people, namely “their right to work and their right to access work-training programs, and possibly other human rights.”

Jaq argues that this could mean that ASPI actually contributed to human rights violations of consensual Uygur workers under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. She also argues that ASPI and the Australian government “must right the grave wrong perpetrated against the Uyghurs because of the ASPI report.”

That report is crystal clear. Therefore it will get zero attention in mainstream media.
