How did Xinjiang cotton touch porcelain?
The cause is the multinational clothing brand H&; On the grounds of suspecting the existence of forced labor and discrimination against ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, M officials issued an absurd statement that they would not use Xinjiang cotton and cooperate with Xinjiang garment factories.

Subsequently, the star announced the dissolution of H& H & amp;; M's cooperation, VIVO, Huawei and other application stores are all removed by H&; M Mall H&, Taobao, JD.COM, Pinduoduo and other e-commerce platforms were removed from H&; M-related products, newspapers, television and media H& published articles to boycott H&.

The cotton textile industry in China is depressed and its profit is low, which leads to the decrease of cotton production and producing area. When China supported the west, it also supported cotton planting. Many textile industries in the south also agreed to move there, which reduced the cost of the textile industry and increased the profits in the world. China's cotton textile industry exports a lot, but the profit is always too small, leading to tragic growth.

On the other hand, the United States is a big exporter of cotton and has the pricing power of cotton (the textile industry in the United States is also not good because of insufficient labor). China is also a big trading country and a big cotton importer. China's own cotton is abundant and of good quality, and it will also be exported, which will affect the international cotton price and the interests of the United States.

The United States can't say clearly because the rules are made by itself. We can only think of the reasons why forced labor in Xinjiang cotton industry makes us feel incredible.

Behind the scenes:

BCI is an international non-governmental organization, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, with offices in China, India, Pakistan and London. It was established in 2009, and was born out of one of many initiatives initiated by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

The organization claims that the cotton production process is easily affected by poor environmental management and working conditions, so it is necessary to provide training for farmers and promote the sustainable development of the industry.

The important source of BCI funds is the membership fees paid by members. In the 20 18-20 19 cotton season, the global fine cotton output certified by the organization was 5.6 million tons, accounting for 22% of the global cotton output.

China's fine cotton production accounts for 15% of the global fine cotton production, and BCI-certified China cotton farmer * * * produces 896,000 tons of fine cotton. According to the organization's annual report, China is the third largest cotton producer in the world after Brazil and Pakistan.
