The finding by the Trump administration is the strongest denunciation by any government of China’s actions and follows a Biden campaign statement with the same declaration.
Transparent attempt to push the Biden administration further into the Trump admin's stance on China and prevent any backing down. After all while previously Zenz and co had severability in that if needed they could be called into question and tossed aside, the State Dept itself issuing things is much more formal and tossing aside those edicts calls into question the whole imperialist propaganda apparatus.
The goal of all this is to weaponize liberals of the Democratic variety. To kind of hijack the kind of good humanitarian impulses behind BDS and similar movements and create a self-sustaining if initially astroturfed "social justice" movement against China on the grounds of this narrative. To redirect that energy away from imperialist outposts in the middle east towards enemies. If successful, changes of government policy would not prevent accelerated attempts at de-coupling and in effect economically sanctioning China as these "woke" liberals would demand major corporations divest from and move manufacturing from China on human rights grounds and as the reactionaries hate China anyways for racist reasoning there would be no pushback like there is with the Israel/BDS issue. This is of course in tandem with attempts to move manufacturing bases and capital to the friendly fascist state of India and some smaller neo-colonized nations.
