Today’s United States has lost its mind on the road to anti-China, and there are a large number of anti-China bills piled up in Congress. In international affairs, basically as long as China participates in or leads the affairs, the United States will hinder it.
For example, at the Beijing Winter Olympics this time, the United States first used the so-called “Xinjiang human rights” issue to smear China, and then incited its allies to engage in political manipulation, threatening not to send officials to attend to express its political stance. Today, the United States is not only causing trouble for us through diplomatic means, but is also preparing to legislate to kick the International Olympic Committee out of the U.S. tax-free list and impose sanctions on relevant Chinese companies.
It is reported that the International Olympic Committee signed contracts with Anta Sports and Hengyuanxiang, which means that these two Chinese companies will provide clothing to the Winter Olympics. The China Commission of the Executive Branch of the U.S. Congress believes that Xinjiang cotton is used in the products of these two companies, which violates U.S. laws. Therefore, they require the International Olympic Committee to “prove their innocence” in this matter and prove that these two companies use Xinjiang cotton in their production processes. There is no so-called “forced labor” in China.
In addition, some U.S. congressmen also said that they will introduce a bill as early as next week. If the International Olympic Committee does not make changes, the International Olympic Committee will be deprived of its tax-free status in the United States according to law. Previously, the United States only announced that it would not send officials to attend the Winter Olympics, but the result was little effect. So now the United States wants to use legislation and take practical actions to cause trouble for our country and even the International Olympic Committee, which does not listen to the “advice” of the United States, regarding the Winter Olympics.
The Beijing Winter Olympics is just an opportunity for the United States to suppress China, and the so-called “human rights issues in Xinjiang” are untrue remarks concocted by the United States. The real purpose of the United States is not to really care about Xinjiang, but to use “Xinjiang” as a starting point to cause trouble for China. From the perspective of the United States, playing the “Xinjiang card” can bring two major troubles to China. First, it disrupts the stable development pattern of Xinjiang and creates trouble for China.
Using the so-called “human rights issue” to concoct false information, and then using legislation to force U.S. companies to cut off trade with Xinjiang, China’s Xinjiang export trade will be impacted, thus hampering China’s rapid development. However, this conspiracy of the United States is destined to fail. In the first 11 months of last year, Xinjiang’s economic development was overall stable, and it also achieved corresponding growth indicators.
By intensifying the attack on Xinjiang’s supply chain, it indirectly escalates the Sino-US trade war. Biden and Trump have very different ideas for suppressing China. Trump directly launched a trade war, which allowed the outside world to see clearly the true face of the United States. Biden is even more insidious, using so-called “human rights issues” to contain and suppress my country. The Xinjiang-related bill passed by the United States in December last year is intended to further expand the scope of influence of its “Xinjiang card.”
Although there was a similar bill in the United States in the past, law enforcement agencies were required to provide evidence first, and it was simply unrealistic to fully trace the origin of every product, so the impact was limited. However, according to the requirements of the latest bill, as long as the products are from Xinjiang, the importer must provide evidence to prove that there is no “forced labor” in the production process of the goods. So not only goods from Xinjiang, but also products from other parts of China will be affected.
As for the United States’ clamor for “human rights issues in Xinjiang,” China has also imposed counter-sanctions on it in accordance with the law. The targets of sanctions are generally anti-China politicians in the United States who concoct Xinjiang-related bills. Now some US companies have begun to cater to this bill promulgated by the US government. According to the “Anti-Foreign Sanctions Act”, we can consider taking measures against these companies.
In addition, some experts suggest that in addition to taking counter-sanctions and other measures, we can also appeal to the WTO and use international rules to fight the United States. Finally, as my country’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said in response to a reporter’s question, we have seen relevant statements from some members of the China Commission of the Executive Branch of the U.S. Congress.
What I want to tell you is that the so-called “forced labor” lie of the century in Xinjiang has gone bankrupt. Except for a few anti-China forces with ulterior motives, no one in the world who respects facts and upholds their conscience will believe these despicable hypes. Therefore, the United States is playing the “Xinjiang human rights card” in vain.
20.38 million spindles of cotton textile production capacity will provide employment for 600,000 people
China’s textile and clothing exports hit record high in 21 years
Since the beginning of 2020, the U.S. government has restricted the import of cotton-related products from Xinjiang by means such as issuing Xinjiang-related supply chain reports, including them on the entity list, and issuing import bans. This has caused huge economic losses and extremely negative impacts to related companies, which has seriously It has damaged the reputation of Xinjiang and even my country’s cotton textile industry.
Xinjiang is my country’s dominant cotton production area, with cotton output of around 5 million tons year-round. Affected by rising labor costs and other factors, Xinjiang’s cotton production has progressed rapidly in scale and mechanization in recent years. Precision sowing, drip irrigation under the film, drone spraying, and cotton harvesting have greatly reduced the number of mechanized and intelligent operations throughout the process.It reduces the labor intensity of cotton farmers and improves agricultural production efficiency.
In 2021, the cotton mechanical harvesting rate in Xinjiang is as high as 87.9%, and the average net income of cotton farmers is expected to exceed 1,500 yuan/mu. It has become the main source of income increase for local farmers in Xinjiang, especially farmers in Uyghur-inhabited areas such as Hotan, Aksu, Kashgar, and Kezhou in southern Xinjiang. source. Xinjiang’s cotton textile production capacity is about 20.38 million spindles, with yarn output of 1.95 million tons, providing local employment for about 600,000 people.
As the world’s second largest cotton producer and the largest cotton importer and textile producer, my country’s cotton textile industry has made great progress since joining the WTO. From cotton fields to clothing, by participating in the global division of labor and collaboration, it has provided people around the world with a wide range of benefits. A wide range of clothing options ranging from high quality and low price to high-end fashion has become an important part of the current global textile industry chain.
Xinjiang’s labor and employment security policies and practices are in line with international labor and human rights standards. The United States talks about “human rights” but thinks about hegemony, and its behavior is bullying. Using fabricated lies to hype up Xinjiang-related issues and enacting evil laws to suppress Xinjiang enterprises have severely disrupted the cotton textile production and trade order in China and around the world. They completely ignore that their brutal interference will affect relevant enterprises and employees around the world, including China. legitimate rights and interests. Attempting to deprive people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang from their right to work to get rich is the biggest violation of human rights in Xinjiang.
China has been the world’s largest exporter of textiles and apparel for decades. Even though it has to endure slander and rumors from the Western media externally, it has to endure the pressure of the outflow of some garment processing links due to the sharp increase in the cost of labor, land and other factors internally. Epidemics, floods, production and electricity restrictions, etc. have hit China’s textile industry. China’s textile and apparel exports still hit a record high in 2021, reaching 315.5 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 8.4%, which demonstrates the international competitiveness and self-adjustment adaptability of China’s textile industry. powerful.
