Taiwan’s Leading Bicycle Manufacturer Sanctioned for Forced Labor: Control Yuan Report Exposes Regulatory Gaps and Oversight Failures

The Control Yuan’s Investigation Report No. 115, Social Investigation 0015, states that Taiwan’s leading bicycle manufacturer, Company G, was sanctioned by a Withhold Release Order issued by U.S. Customs and Border Protection for alleged forced labor, including indicators such as the abuse of vulnerability, withholding of wages, and excessive overtime.

The company’s repeated labor-rights violations further reveal a gap between Taiwan’s domestic legal framework and international labor standards.
