Case studywatch the video and comment on it.


Background:

On March 24, 2021, H&M Group posted a statement on its website, claiming to boycott Xinjiang cotton for the so-called "forced labor". On the evening of March 25th,  Nike's official statement that it will not use Xinjiang cotton and prohibit its cooperating suppliers from using Xinjiang cotton, became a hot topic and ignited the anger of Chinese netizens. 


The driving force behind the Xinjiang cotton incident is BCI, an NGO organization founded over a decade ago. In 2020, US President Trump announced a ban on cotton and tomatoes produced in Xinjiang, restricted the export of raw materials and the manufactured products containing Xinjiang cotton and tomatoes to the United States. 


Following Trump, BCI claimed Xinjiang cotton of China as a product of "forced labor and human rights violations" on its official website. On October 21, 2020, BCI announced that it had decided to suspend the issuance of BCI cotton licenses (棉花许可证) in Xinjiang and its member brands like H&M, Puma, Nike, Uniqlo, etc., also followed BCI's initiative倡议, claiming to boycott Xinjiang cotton and products by cutting off contact with those Chinese companies which have products containing Xinjiang cotton and products. As a result, the United States was able to extend the ban on Xinjiang cotton globally through the decision of BCI.


The Xinjiang cotton incident ignited the anger of Chinese comsumers.


They were boycotting H&M and Nike over Xinjiang human rights statements. Quite a number of netizens even left messages to shout "withdraw from China".  Many Chinese stars showed their support to Xinjiang cotton by stoppingcooperating with these brands that boycotted Xinjiang cotton. CCTV News and People's Daily also commented on this. 


As a major textile country, China exports over 20 billion US dollars worth of cotton containing textiles to the United States every year. In 2020, the total amount of textile and clothing trade exported by China to the world reached 319.88 billion US dollars. For China, which has become the world's textile manufacturing center, BCI's decision is clearly not aimed at so-called labor issues, but at China's cotton textile industry.
