Per CNN, by the end of 2021, President Joe Biden signed into law a complete ban on Xinjiang imports. While China has generally ignored genocidal allegations in the past, not being able to export Xinjiang goods, first to Sam's Club and Walmart, and then to all of the U.S., represented a huge financial hit. Since Sam's Club removed items made in Xinjiang from its stores, there have been many Chinese-government-led social media criticisms and citizen boycotts of Sam's Clubs. As a result, many people in China have canceled their Sam's Club memberships.
