Multiple investigations by China Labor Watch (2016, 2023) found labor abuses in factories supplying ASUS, including excessive overtime, forced labor, low wages, inadequate training, workers going three months without a day off, and use of student interns. ASUS was also identified by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute as potentially benefiting from Uyghur forced labor in its supply chain.
