Li Qiang
Li Qiang is a prominent Chinese labor rights activist and the founder of China Labor Watch, an NGO dedicated to exposing labor exploitation in Chinese factories. Having previously worked in toy factories himself, Qiang has been a vocal critic of labor practices in China, particularly regarding the treatment of female workers and minors in supply chains for major companies like Apple and Mattel. His organization has faced significant challenges, especially after the U.S. government cut funding under the Trump administration, which jeopardized their ability to conduct investigations and advocate for workers' rights. Qiang's work highlights the dire circumstances faced by workers in China and the broader implications for human rights activism in the region.
