Amelia Pang is an award-winning investigative journalist of Uyghur and Chinese descent. Her work has been published in The New Republic, Mother Jones, and The New York Times Sunday Review - among other publications. She is currently an editor at EdTech Magazine.

Amelia is the author of Made In China: A Prisoner, An SOS Letter, and the Hidden Cost of America's Cheap Goods. Her powerful book sheds light on the atrocities committed against the Uighur population by the Chinese government. 

Amelia and I discuss: 

• Organ harvesting operated by the Chinese government 
• Forced labor camps
• What prompted her to write the book
• If the Chinese population is aware of the labor camps
• The state of journalism 
• America's obsession with cheap goods
• Genocide of the Uighurs

And much more...

My Take: Just because a conversation is hard or uncomfortable does not mean we should not have it. I believe it is the opposite - these conversations are actually crucial to have because most likely no one else is. There are blatant human rights violations, and some would argue a genocide, happening right now against the Uighur people - yet the world is afraid to speak up. If we don't speak up, if we don't bring forth the conversation, no one will.
