If the companies don’t stop buying cottons there, we can stop buying clothes from those companies. I always try to buy products from the companies that respect their workers and environment.

#12If I didn't know better I would suspect they are being intentionally ironic.
A bit too on the nose tbh. It feels almost like a flex on the west.

I'm pretty uninformed on this topic. Can some explain why the parent comment would get downvoted?

#151. Article from Dec 2020.
2. Center for Global Policy rebranded Newlines (funded by a private university with only 120 students that has thinktank and publishing arm), aka another front used to launder Zenz studies.
3. Basically rehash of Zenz Jamestown hit piece, the 500K was based off CCP press releases of rural transfer programs. Literally misconstruing official CCP media bragging about poverty alleviation into coerced labour which internet then misconstrues as unpaid slave labour. Actual piece itself doesn't have any credible evidence of forced labour other than Zenz thinks there's coersion because some folks got paid less than they were promised.
4. Same report / propaganda drive that started the XPCC sanctions in the first place, culminating to recent H&M drama.

I have some anti-china bias (personal background), but many times these Xinjiang articles only cite Zenz et al. I would really appreciate better investigative journalism on this front.

#20These people are doomed absolutely no one will help them in any way and although they are many they can never reach the critical mass to start a revolution. 570k isn't much in china.
"And so the idea... I'm not going to speak out against what he's doing in Hong Kong, what he's doing with the Uyghurs in western mountains of China, and Taiwan, trying to end the One China policy by making it forceful, I said — by the way, he said he gets it. Culturally, there are different norms that each country and their leaders are expected to follow." - Supposedly the leader of the free world
