US cotton ban would pressure China to end Xinjiang Uighur labor camps - Business Insider

China is one of the world's largest cotton-producing countries, and more than 80% of its cotton comes from from Xinjiang, where millions of minority Muslims, mainly Uighurs, are living and working in detention camps for little or no pay.

"If leading brands and retailers are prohibited from importing garments with content from Xinjiang into the most important consumer market for clothing — which is the US — then the implications for the Chinese government and its economic development strategy in Xinjiang are enormous," he said. "The first step is transparency," he said. A garment that comes into the US requires a custom form to indicate who made the garment and who shipped it — but not the origins of the cotton. The coalition wants the US government to start asking clothing companies where they source their cotton from. Otherwise, they will not disclose this information, Nova said.

It's a new week, so: StandWithHongKong StandWithTibet StandWithBelarus StandWithUyghurs etc In short, work for democracy, everywhere, every day.

Stands with Uyghur

Ban all cotton that is hand picked...haven’t we learned anything over the last few hundred years.

Seriously if the Uighurs lived in the west bank or one of the southern states nobody would care and if we weren't so lucky living in a democracy we'd probably be happy to support the same policies against fanatical Muslim terrorists..not that I'm condoning whats happening there.

We must do our parts to StandWithUyghurs

Uighurmuslims

That's not naive.

I'll give you credit for this post. At least, we can agree that the persecution of the Uighur population in China is abhorrent.

Fuck the CCP
