cotton to the country's strategic development? The American Civil War also broke out because of cotton, can you believe it?
Look at the picture to see the characters The recent Xinjiang cotton incident has been raging. Have you found that similar approaches in the West can often increase the value of my country's own brands, rather than suppress them. Not to mention Huawei , a free and sky-high price advertisement. Before the United States began sanctions against Huawei, did you not know how good Huawei's 5G technology was? Huawei 5G technology cars, mobile phones, electronic products, food, including this cotton, there are countless cases. The concept stocks of domestic clothing brands have begun to see a red sea. Slowly, my country's independent brands have not fallen under the pressure of the West, but have become more and more vibrant. What brands are not listed. Today, let’s talk about this beautiful cotton in Xinjiang. Xinjiang cotton farmer cotton is involved in the industry, we may not be able to imagine it is huge, it involves every aspect of our lives bit by bit, seemingly inconspicuous little white flowers, but in international trade has been staged a cotton war for many years. Cotton has become a strategic material related to the people's livelihood in the world, and an important raw material for the cotton textile industry. It occupies a very important position in the national economy of many countries all year round. A total of 75 countries around the world grow and produce cotton. As a natural fiber crop, the various industrial chains from production, circulation, processing to consumption have an important impact on the development of the national economy, especially the employment and per capita income of the upstream and downstream industries involved in the cotton production area. Indian cotton farmers global trade exceeds 18 billion US dollars every year, and it is increasing day by day. As an agricultural product, both developed and developing countries, as well as poor countries, have adopted various measures to protect their own cotton planting and their industries and expand export markets. Therefore, cotton often causes disputes in world trade and continues. In this Xinjiang cotton incident, cotton was mentioned as clothing-oriented, and the most common one is medical cotton. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Cotton fiber is indispensable in daily soap, chemical fertilizer, beer, ice cream, and even aerospace rocket propellant. The greatness of cotton has changed the production and lifestyle of all mankind. It is the real "Platinum". rocket propellant soap contains cotton fiber Europeans first saw cotton products cotton as the world's most important crop, low cost, large output, and low prices for finished products. It is the most important fiber crop and oil crop, and it is a food crop rich in high protein. It is also a fine chemical raw material and an important strategic material. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus recorded cotton in the 5th century BC, which was also the first written record of cotton. It originated in India. At that time, people didn't know what kind of tree it was. They thought it was a strange tree that could grow wool. Therefore, the literal translation of cotton in German has always been "tree wool". Herodotus (Herodotus) wool cotton~~~~ In the first century AD, Arab merchants brought exquisite and soft muslin into Europe. In the 9th century, the Moors introduced the method of cotton cultivation to Spain. . After being introduced to Britain in the 15th century, it was taken to North America. At that time, North America was a British colony. But at that time, the cotton industry in Central America and Mexico was already very developed, and at that time it accounted for more than 90% of the world's total cotton output. Early cotton mills black slaves In 1784, a British businessman named Samuel Gregg built a small cotton mill. Employing local orphan workers to work for them, because the raw materials are produced in the Caribbean, European businessmen spare no effort and are not satisfied with this. In order to seek more maximum benefits, they invest to promote economies of scale and centralized production. Through collusion between government and businessmen, we seek to control the entire industrial system from production, circulation to sales. Therefore, the rise and fall of the cotton empire began to play a vital role in the globalization of capitalism and . Child labor child labor child labor Early cotton factory With technological innovation, from steam spinning to power spinning, the price of textiles dropped sharply. The maximization of capitalist interests prevailed. After the 19th century, the fertile land of the southern United States was suitable for cotton cultivation. The price of black slave labor was low, the cotton production was high, and the varieties were good. As a result, the price of black slaves also rose. After the 1820s, three-quarters of the cotton products consumed in Britain came from the United States. The development of the world's cotton textile industry and the expansion of African American slavery and agriculture have gone hand in hand for decades. Over time, things will definitely happen. It's just not yet time. Early automated textile machines American women performed fine weaving Early power textile machines The rapid development of the cotton industry was accompanied by the beginning of war capitalism. After eating and drinking enough, I wondered how I could get more, and even went to war and slaughter lives. After the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, capitalists began to build cotton mills in large numbers, drawing all trading countries into a trading system, and establishing a cotton empire centered on Britain. This was the original global trading system, and with the continuous improvement of the trade, capital, communications, and credit systems, modern capitalism was formed. slave labor black slaves American Civil War Then did you know? The American Civil War also broke out because of cotton competition. Because at that time the crops in the southern United States were grown by black slaves. In the North of the United States, it is believed that slavery controlled a huge amount of cheap labor, thus restricting the development of the cotton industry. Of course, there will be huge differences between the two different economic models. If you can't agree, right? Let's solve it by force. Behind it is driven by the interests of capitalists. Because of cotton, the American Civil War has begun. The purpose is not to liberate slaves, but because there is no more labor force. All behind this is controlled by European capitalists. The real soldiers of the Civil War slaves seem to have been liberated, but the cotton supply chain is broken. Europe began to look for other cotton producing areas and began to enter the Asian region, and a new cotton empire began to slowly rise in Asia. Japan and Turkey have become new cotton powers, and the Korean Peninsula, the Middle East and Northeast China have become new cotton growing areas and production areas. Therefore, it is cotton that has made the global expansion of capital. Petroleum and minerals are incomparable. black slaves black slaves Japanese women are finishing cotton The cotton industry is one of the pillar industries in Xinjiang. Originally, cotton was considered to be unable to grow in areas north of 42 degrees north latitude. Xinjiang Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture Manas County is now the main cotton producing area. Located between 45 degrees and 46 degrees north latitude, no one has ever grown cotton here in the past. In the spring of 1950, the Production and Construction Corps troops entered the Manas Reclamation Area of the Junggar Basin and planted the first cotton field in the small wasteland. By 1952, cotton planting in Xinjiang had reached 1 million mu. Since then, Xinjiang’s cotton industry has entered a stage of comprehensive and rapid development. The red box of is Manas County 1950s Construction Corps Relatively speaking, growing cotton in Xinjiang is not an easy task. The geographical conditions of Xinjiang are quite special. Cotton planting is divided into areas, northern Xinjiang and belong to the early maturity area, and southern Xinjiang belongs to the early-middle maturity area. In order to meet the needs of various cotton regions, in the past 50 years, Xinjiang’s agricultural science and technology personnel have cultivated 208 new varieties of cotton in order to cultivate local characteristic varieties in Xinjiang. This has accelerated the pace of replacement of Xinjiang’s cotton varieties. The efficient production of cotton provides strong technical support. cotton research team Xinjiang’s southern and northern borders For decades, Xinjiang has gradually developed from a "barren land of cotton" to a "large province of cotton farmers". It has become a national-level high-quality cotton production base, and for 25 consecutive years, the cotton planting area, total output, unit output and commodity allocation have been ranked first in the country. my country is now the world's largest consumer of cotton products and the second cotton producer. The quality of long-staple cotton in Xinjiang has world-class quality and influence, and is highly competitive. The cotton-producing areas in Xinjiang have basically realized fully mechanized picking, and there is no manual cotton picking anymore, which saves time and effort at the same time the cost is reduced to only about 0.45 yuan per kilogram. mechanical picking unmanned aerial vehicle plant protection In the world cotton pattern, Xinjiang cotton area also occupies a pivotal position. The total cotton production accounts for about 18% of the world's total cotton production. China supplies billions of shirts and countless cotton products to the world every year, and Xinjiang certainly contributes. With the development of the industrial layout of the country, the regionality of the country is also changing. China's textile industry is moving westward, and the railway and aviation advantages of the west to Europe are developing at an accelerated pace. The development of China-Europe Express is also very rapid. In the process of improving cotton productivity, Xinjiang will focus on the development of cotton-friendly areas and high-quality cotton areas, and speed up the construction. In 2019, 11.5 million mu of high-yield and super-high-yield cotton fields have been achieved, and it has begun to shift from a cotton production base to a cotton spinning industry base. China-Europe Railway Express In 2020, Xinjiang has built an important national cotton spinning industry base. Xinjiang will become a new central area for the development of cotton spinning and garment industry. With Xinjiang as the center, a large pattern of cotton industry capital flow, logistics, technology flow, etc. will be formed to South Asia, the Middle East, , central Asia, , and Europe. , as the world's largest cotton consumer, last year's total cotton output was about 5.95 million tons, but the demand was as high as 7.8 million tons, and 2 million tons were imported every year to meet domestic demand. Among them, the cotton output in Xinjiang alone is as high as 5.2 million tons, accounting for 87% of total domestic production and 67% of domestic consumption. So, the cotton we produce is not enough by ourselves. It's okay not to supply to foreign countries. In order to meet domestic demand, in addition to the establishment of strategic reserves such as grain and petroleum materials, cotton has also established a strategic reserve system. As the world's platinum cotton, it plays a very key role in national strategic materials, because almost everything in our lives It's all about cotton. Cotton flower Faced with the double-standard strategy used in the West this time, there is still no chance of winning. Instead, he shot himself in the foot. Domestic brands will get strong support, but it will be a huge free advertising campaign. At the same time, it will also let the world know more about how high-quality Xinjiang cotton is. Pay attention to Uncle Fang not to get lost, and make progress on the road @房叔叨叨叨 Almighty creator Six reasons to see why Xinjiang Cotton is the world’s top 
cotton plays an absolutely important role in the framework of global history, it is the origin of the modern world. The history of the development of the cotton industry is the history of how European countries and capitalists developed rapidly in a short period of time and changed the pattern of the world.
