Ministry Of Commerce: Pure White Cotton In Xinjiang Should Not Be Tarnished By Any Force

At a regular press conference held by the Ministry of Commerce today (March 25), spokesman Gao Feng responded to reporters' questions on the issue of Xinjiang cotton by H & M and other foreign clothing brands.

Gaofeng said that the so-called existence of "forced labor" in Xinjiang is totally illusory, and the pure white cotton in Xinjiang can not be tarnished or tarnished by any force. We are opposed to any external force interfering in Xinjiang affairs and China's internal affairs, and we are opposed to imposing sanctions on relevant Chinese entities and individuals on the basis of lies and false information on the grounds of the so-called human rights issue in Xinjiang.

Gaofeng stressed that the Chinese government has always welcomed and supported the normal business activities of multinational enterprises in China and the efforts to build an industrial chain supply chain. Chinese consumers have responded to the so-called business decisions made by individual enterprises based on false information. It is hoped that the relevant enterprises will respect the market rules, correct the wrong practices and avoid politicization of commercial problems. At the same time, we welcome foreign enterprises to visit Xinjiang on the spot, and are willing to provide support and help for foreign enterprises to carry out trade and investment in Xinjiang.
