H&M provokes public anger
I believe everyone has heard about H&M recently. For those who don’t know, Feng Qing will briefly describe:
On March 24, H&M suddenly went crazy and announced that it would boycott Xinjiang cotton . “It will not cooperate with any garment manufacturing factories in Xinjiang, nor will it purchase any products from Xinjiang.”
?
The reason is too funny (huang) to laugh (miu), because a European non-governmental organization (BCI) said that there is forced labor and forced cotton picking in Xinjiang, which is not humanitarian at all.
"Humanitarian", does it sound familiar?
Yes, it is the idiom used by the Western media to discredit China. BCI's so-called "forced labor" is actually spread from the mouth of the Western media.
Recall this familiar routine:
Western politicians must turn against China; Western media spread rumors to discredit, and lies become more bizarre; Western non-governmental organizations contribute to the flames, and they must call "humanitarian" values.
Then we saw that Western companies are standing in the Chinese market, eating Chinese meat, and smashing Chinese bowls!
It’s a pity that today’s Chinese are not slaughtered fish. The patriotic craze is rapidly erupting like a volcano-
from official media to the private sector, unanimously scolded; many celebrities have announced that they will break off cooperation; Taobao, Jingdong , Pinduoduo, go directly off the H&M store; then it should be a physical store...
Things are not that simple.
Generally speaking, in the face of the monstrous anger in the Chinese market, generally Western companies involved in insulting China will immediately apologize.
But at midnight the previous day, H&M issued such a statement-note, it is not an apology, it is a statement:
Translation: I’m right, you still have more than 350 companies that rely on me for food!
this uncharacteristically tough attitude shows that things are not as simple as they seem.
Soon, along the list of European non-governmental organizations BCI partner manufacturers, netizens found more foreign companies boycotting Xinjiang cotton: Nike, Zara, Adidas, Burberry, Decathlon, IKEA, New Balance, Uniqlo, Muji...
Nike’s statement is even worse than H&M: it not only does not use Xinjiang cotton, but also forces its cooperative merchants to conduct self-examination, not allowing Xinjiang cotton to be used!
Before, these Western companies made fun of China's map. This time, they premeditated and collectively targeted Xinjiang cotton.
Why?
Come to see the strength of China's Xinjiang cotton.
Understand the real Xinjiang cotton
When it comes to cotton, many people think of the United States and India, the two largest cotton producing areas in the world.
However, by around 2000, China had surpassed the United States to become the world's second largest cotton producer after India.
Xinjiang is the largest cotton in ChinaOrigin, the annual output reaches 87% of China's total output!
Now you can understand that H&Ms seem to be boycotting Xinjiang cotton, but in fact, is boycotting clothing raw materials from China, which is intended to hit China's textile manufacturing industry!
This is no different from what Huawei has experienced internationally.
In order to discredit Xinjiang cotton, the BBC fabricated fake news last year, saying that China forces more than 500,000 ethnic minority workers to pick cotton every year, just like a slave.
But in fact, Xinjiang cotton has long realized large-scale mechanized operation-
machine quickly covers the film on the flat ground:
agricultural drones from DJI are spraying pesticides more efficiently than 8z
zzzzzz z0 There are too many artificial heights:
Fengqing I still remember that more than 20 years ago, many people from Sichuan and Henan would go to Xinjiang to pick cotton before the rice matured. The reason for
is very simple. Picking cotton is very profitable.
But now Xinjiang’s cotton fields no longer need cotton pickers from other places.
According to the Xinjiang Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Machinery Administration, the mechanization rate of Northern Xinjiang in 2019 is 80%, and it will rise to 95% in 2020! Local cotton pickers in Xinjiang can earn more than 10,000 yuan in two months.
If you say that you are a slave to earn money through labor, we can only say that the word games of the Western media are too slippery!
Speaking of slavery, Fengqing remembered a cold knowledge, Mississippi in the United States, only abolished slavery in 2013.
The Western media's imagination of China is really that art comes from reality, my own nasty things.
shouted doctrine, and my heart was business
, holding the banner of humanitarianism, why did European and American countries have their eyes on cotton this time?
That's because of the share of U.S. agricultural products exported to China, soybeans rank first, and cotton ranks second.
China is not only the world's second largest cotton producer, but also the world's largest cotton consumer.
Last year, China's total cotton production was about 5.95 million tons, and the total demand was 7.8 million tons, of which 1.85 million tons were imported.
The United States, as the world's third largest cotton producer, has a small population and low consumption. In the past 10 years, more than 80% of their cotton has been exported.
and China is the most important cotton exporter of the United States.
What does this mean? In the trade frictions of the previous two years, the United States used soybeans to suppress China. This time, the United States has changed for cotton!
discredit Xinjiang cotton and call on Western companies to boycott Xinjiang cotton. Chinese cotton prices have fallen, Chinese cotton farmers have suffered miserable losses, and China’s textile industry has been suppressed. Isn’t that good for the US cotton industry? This trick
is really poisonous!
Foreign brands eat meat and smash the pot, Chinese brands, stand up!
H&M want to earn China's renminbi while also boycotting Xinjiang's cotton.
z0Don’t you know that our RMB is actually made of Xinjiang cotton?In recent years, the European and American fast fashion brands have gradually withdrawn from China. There is no other reason. The Chinese garment manufacturing industry is too strong!
is of good quality, many styles, and low price. Taobao is also convenient and fast. European and American fast fashion, which has been rampant in China for more than a decade, can't stand it.
H&M did this to death this time, clearly wanting to abandon the Chinese market and turn around to hug the thighs of European and American dads.
After all, in its global market share, China only ranks fifth, and the first four are Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom and France.
If this is the case, we should vote with our feet and give it a chance to crawl!
It is worth noting that when foreign brands followed suit and boycotted Xinjiang cotton, Chinese brands stepped forward!
Anta , Hongxing Erke, Hailan House, Metersbonwe, Semir... have all supported Xinjiang Cotton; China Li Ning has long since branded the four characters "Xinjiang Cotton" on the label!
But this is not enough!
According to Fengqing, the ebb of foreign brands is just making room for the Chinese.
Made in China, our clothes are much more beautiful and comfortable than H&M. Since people eat our meat and want to smash our pot, we should stand up as soon as possible and use the famous Chinese brand to let people see our strength!
There is a good saying in Xinjiang: "The dog is barking, but the camel team is still moving forward."
Fengqing encourages everyone!
