U.S. trade curbs aimed at stemming forced labor of ethnic minority Uyghurs in China .

$3.56 billion worth of imports from Malaysia , Thailand and Vietnam have been blocked, figures show.

Economists and human rights experts ascribe the heavy hit the region is taking to global supply chains shifting to reroute exports from China .

China is still the hub or the center of ASEAN supply chains, says Menon .

Menon said the UFLPA could benefit low-wage countries less tainted by forced labor than China by driving more business their way.

He said that “blunt” trade tools like the act can also hurt the countries in the middle of those supply chains by driving existing production and investment away.
