Chinese Netizens Attack Foreign Brands and Insist on Xinjiang Cotton, Dismissing Human Rights Breaches

Apparel brands including H&M, Zara, Addidas, and Nike issued a statement in 2020, voicing concern for the reportedly forced labor in the cotton production in Xinjiang.

After the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have coordinated a joint sanction on China over the human rights violation in Xinjiang, the Chinese government and the state-owned media turned to attack foreign brands.

On the social media platform, China's Communist Youth League condemned H&M for "spreading rumors" while "trying to make a profit in China". The same comment was also announced by the state broadcaster CCTV.

The state-owned newspaper People's Daily also attacked H&M on its #Weibo, reiterating that "China's Xinjiang cotton is white and flawless." Many Chinese brands immediately put on tags in support of "China's Xinjiang cotton".

Chinese netizens and Internet personnel also joined in the boycott and attack. Some even uploaded photos of themselves burning down items from these brands while some vandalized the billboard of these brands. Chinese celebrities in showbiz also prominently cut ties with foreign brands.
