South China Morning Post published this video item, entitled “Xinjiang, China’s top cotton producer” – below is their description.
China is one of the world’s largest producers of cotton in the world. The country supplies over one-fifth of the cotton used globally, and about 84 per cent of the Chinese output of the product comes from its western Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. But Western nations and some international brands have raised concerns about human rights abuse in the Xinjiang cotton industry. Beijing has denied claims that it imposed forced labour, saying workers were engaged in poverty alleviation efforts to help rural residents.
