Swedish clothing giant H & M has announced that it will stop procuring cotton from China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region after being pointed out that forced labor is taking place.
In response, youth organizations of the Chinese Communist Party have criticized it as "a decision based on hoaxes," and there are a series of posts on the Internet calling for people not to buy products.
"It's a state-led boycott movement by the Chinese Communist Party," said Porter, a deputy spokesman for the US State Department, at a telephone conference on the 26th.
He said, "We support companies that guarantee that the products we consume are not made by forced labor."
In January, the U.S. government took measures to suspend the import of cotton products produced in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and in March, imposed sanctions on the authorities of the autonomous region in line with the EU = European Union. The Chinese side is strongly opposed to it, as it is increasing pressure on China over human rights issues.
