Support Xinjiang Cotton To See The World Without Colored Glasses

The H & M group is deeply concerned about reports from civil society organizations and media, including accusations of forced labor and religious discrimination against ethnic minorities in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the statement said in a statement on its website on the 24th. H & M group also explicitly stated on its English website that cotton and outsourcing factories from Xinjiang were prohibited. "We don't cooperate with any garment manufacturers in Xinjiang, nor do we purchase products from the region. We transparently disclose the names and locations of manufacturing plants and yarn producers on the supplier list and will continue to do so, and further accelerate the transparency of the global supply chain. "

As soon as this statement came out, it attracted a series of subsequent reactions. Netizens were dissatisfied and boycotted companies like HM, Nike and Adi that had made similar statements. After the incident, the first incident of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League made a statement on the statement of H & M group: "Xinjiang cotton does not eat this set!"

As the leader behind the incident, the Swiss good cotton Development Association (BCI), which claims to be an organization that exists to make global cotton planting and production more conducive to cotton farmers, suspended the granting of cotton licenses to Xinjiang, and fabricated the so-called "forced labor" to discredit Xinjiang cotton flowers. The most fundamental reason is the competition for the dominant power of textile supply chain, as well as the competition for pricing power and standards.

As the world's largest cotton consumer and the second largest cotton producer, China's cotton output in 2020 / 2021 is about 5.95 million tons, the total demand is about 7.8 million tons, and the annual gap is about 1.85 million tons. China's cotton accounts for 25% of the world's production capacity, of which 20% is Xinjiang's cotton, ranking second only to the top in quality, and its production capacity accounts for 0.4% of the world's Egyptian long staple cotton. Xinjiang's cotton output is 5.2 million tons, accounting for about 87% of domestic production and 67% of domestic consumption. From this data, we can see that Xinjiang cotton is not enough for China.

According to the data released by Xinjiang Agricultural Department in 2020, the cotton mechanical picking rate in Xinjiang has reached 69.83%, and 95% of cotton in Northern Xinjiang is picked by machinery. The so-called claim that 70% of cotton in Xinjiang is artificially picked is seriously inconsistent with the facts.

In the words of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, at the same time spreading rumors to resist Xinjiang cotton, and at the same time trying to make money in China? fond dream!

In this incident, Anta, Li Ning and other Chinese local brands also issued statements to support Xinjiang cotton.

On the 25th, the three major indexes of a shares turned red. In terms of blocks, the textile and clothing sector rose sharply in the opening session, and several stocks such as Meibang clothing, Xingye technology and Xinhe Co., Ltd. were up and down. Hong Kong stock sports brands Li Ning, Anta Sports share prices rose with the big. Domestic high-quality clothing brands may benefit and increase market share.
