Labor rights activists say the case of three activists in China helps to direct attention on the country’s labor abuses and lack of enforcement of labor laws. Chinese officials detained the three for trying to investigate a factory that manufactures Ivanka Trump-brand shoes. Rights activists said Ivanka Trump could help change the labor culture in China if she speaks up about the case. Trump is the daughter of American President Donald Trump. She is also his assistant. The Ivanka Trump brand has yet to comment on the arrests. But the company confirms that shoes for the brand were made at the factory. The company said its last order was placed in March 2017. Rights activists are pressuring the Chinese government to give labor activists and investigators more power to uncover labor rights violations. The government has refused to release the three activists.
