1, H&M's death to challenge China's bottom line
On March 24, H&M Group issued a statement on its official website: banned Xinjiang cotton and related outsourcing factories.
This statement emphasizes:
H&M Group is deeply concerned about reports from civil society organizations and media reports, including allegations of forced labor and religious discrimination against ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
As it becomes more and more difficult to conduct credible due diligence in the region, BCI has decided to suspend the issuance of BCI cotton licenses in Xinjiang. This means that the cotton needed for our products will no longer be obtained there.
As soon as this statement came out, caused fierce dissatisfaction among Chinese netizens.
On the afternoon of the 24th, the studios of Huang Xuan and Song Qian as spokespersons issued a statement: There is no cooperation with H&M. National interests are above all else and insist on resisting all stigmatization against China.
is really tough, like these two!
On the evening of the 24th, things further fermented. H&M was delisted by Taobao, Jingdong , Pinduoduo and other e-commerce platforms. All H&M related searches were fruitless.
Well done!
Then Anta announced that it is starting relevant procedures and exiting BCI.
, as the domestic light of Hongxing Erke, Semir , Metersbonwe and other domestic sports brands, post blogs to support Xinjiang Cotton.
Here is a small science popularization, many small partners who do foreign trade textiles should know BCI--the abbreviation of Better Cotton Initiative.
BCI is a cotton standard promoted by the European Union to the world. For textiles to enter the European and American markets, one must refer to the BCI standard more or less or become a member of it.
At the beginning, BCI did promote normal transactions in the cotton market to a certain extent. After becoming a running dog of the United States, everything changed.
To join BCI, you must first pay for certification and complete the course. Every time a BCI certificate is required for shipment, another sum of money will be paid.
Its purpose is not sustainable development, but sustainable collection of money.
Since October last year, BCI has suspended the issuance of Xinjiang cotton licenses, which means that Xinjiang cotton is no longer used, and members of the organization can no longer use it.
Among these members, I saw a lot of familiar figures, I think everyone should know each other.
H&M, Uniqlo, Muji, GAP, IKEA, Nike, Puma, VF Group, Burberry, Adidas, New Balance, etc.
According to H&M’s annual report, it has opened a total of 50 domestic stores in 74 countries and regions around the world. There are 513 companies, accounting for about 10%.
To be honest, I am shocked that a giant company of such a scale is so sloppy and blind.
It is hard to understand that it is clearly a business group that is involved in political issues and offends one of its biggest markets.
Since H&M is so strong, then we will give it a chance to be a "martyr" and directly Ban it.
2, , the Communist Youth League, , support Xinjiang Cotton. wishful thinking!
All official bloggers have ended up in succession to support the "Xinjiang Good Cotton"
clarified the fact that the Ministry of z
clarified the so-called "z1" of the so-called "lilies" and "z1" in the statement of Zzzzzzz and religious discrimination that have been emphasized in the "zz" of zz.
On March 18, 2021, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Zhao Lijian stated that the so-called "forced labor" and "compulsory sterilization" and other "human rights violations" in Xinjiang are individual so-called scholars and institutions with ulterior motives deliberately fabricating and spreading big lies, contrary to justice and conscience. The Chinese people are strongly indignant.
3, what can little cotton be bad?
Xinjiang has been picking cotton by machine for a long time, and it has switched to mechanized operations due to high labor costs.
Many netizens said: In the past cotton harvest season, hand-picking was a high-paying job, and the people across the country rushed to pick it. Forced labor was purely false and fabricated.
China is now the world's largest cotton-producing country (85% of its output comes from Xinjiang). At the same time, China is the world's largest textile and apparel producer and exporter. The United States is the largest cotton exporter and the third largest cotton producer.
A hundred years ago, old white men in the United States used leather whips to force black slaves to grow cotton in their plantations.
So now we are slandering our enslaved Xinjiang compatriots to grow cotton. The
call for human rights is nothing but accidental clothing. The purpose of is to restrict and suppress the development of relevant parties and enterprises in China.
I hope that the United States can be a little creative. After all, what can do with little cotton?
Just now, Nike’s boycott of Xinjiang cotton also rushed into hot searches.
This wave of operations is really disappointing.
These companies have made a lot of money in China, but they slander China and arrogantly plant. No basic business ethics, beyond the bottom line.
National sovereignty cannot be violated. How can China's affairs be allowed to make irresponsible remarks?
Bye bye you!
Finally, what I want to say is: as ordinary people, the only thing we can do is to support domestic brands as much as possible. The rest is handed over to the country.
Instead of worrying about the success of the boycott, will others kneel down?
I care more about my waist and stand upright first!
NIKE does not necessarily have Li Ningxiang.
encourage each other!
