This is normal. Upscaling any production will show you where the bottlenecks in your supply chain are.

It is shitty in the current context, but still banning products due to human rights abuses is a good thing.

Now the aim is to resolve the bottleneck post haste.

Your entire post reads as an accusation, the quotes around human rights makes it seem you think it's nonsense.

Because it is. Regardless of if there are actual abuses or not is completely missing the point, this is a pattern of abuse from the right where they'll bullshit up a reason for them to do the things they wanted to do anyway. 99.99% of the time the "abuses" are just outright fabrications. Just look at the Uighur narrative; at first the US literally pulled it out of their ass to distract from the very real fascist radicalizing they were doing in the area, and it's been slowly crumbling as more and more of the "evidence" they provided turned out to be complete and utter bullshit. It was never about the Uighurs, these same people are celebrating the decimation of Muslims in Gaza to this day.

but still banning products due to human rights abuses is a good thing.

Maybe for genuine human rights abuses (though even then they can easily do more harm than good), but not in cases like this where bad faith claims of abuse were manufactured to justify the ban in the first place.

Not OP, but my uncle went there a while back.

Ah, Ohkay. One of those. Thanks for the clarification.
