#XinjiangCotton: How do I know if it's in my jeans?

Xinjiang cotton is some of the best fabric in the world. It's also, human rights campaigners say, produced by forced labour.

Please bear in mind that Xinjiang cotton accounts for 85% of Chinese production and 20% of world supply.

Some Western brands have removed it from their supply chains, leading to a backlash from Chinese celebrities and netizens. Welcome to the row over cotton from the Xinjiang region of China.

Certification schemes for cotton mills, such as Yarn Ethically & Sustainably Sourced (Yess), work to eliminate forced labour from the supply chain.  But that's of limited help to you as a consumer if you're just ordering a pair of jeans off a retailer's website. 

"If you really want to be confident of the traceability of the cotton in your jeans, you have to look for Soil Association organic cotton or Fairtrade," advises Clare Lissaman from Common Objective (CO), a sustainable fashion sourcing platform.

Truth Behind #XinjiangCotton: Countless Uyghurs Detained, Abused and are Forced to Labor

H&M, a major Swedish fashion brand, was suddenly attacked by the Chinese official media after making a statement in October 2020 that it would no longer purchase cotton from Xinjiang.

As the incident gains more attention, other foreign brands such as #Nike and #Adidas becoming the target of a boycott by Chinese netizens. At the same time, a number of Chinese and Hong Kong celebrities have cut ties with these international brands, terminating their endorsement partnerships and expressing their loyalty to Xinjiang cotton on #Weibo.

Behind this “Xinjiang Cotton Incident”, there involves a major human rights issue in Xinjiang. In recent years, there have been numerous reports and studies revealing the CCP's massive detention of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, requiring them to undergo “re-education”.

There have been reports of torture, sexual abuse, and forced labor of many Uyghurs. It is believed that the "Xinjiang cotton" is the product of the forced labor of the Uyghurs.

The issue of human rights in Xinjiang has become a serious international issue at the moment, involving diplomatic wrangling between China and the West.
