"We welcome all parties in the global cotton textile industry chain to learn more about the real situation of Xinjiang's cotton industry through various ways such as visiting Xinjiang and the third party's due diligence investigation, so as to jointly promote the transparency of the industrial chain and enhance understanding and mutual trust." Today, in response to the statement by H & M and other multinational enterprises to boycott Xinjiang cotton, the China Cotton Association responded that it firmly opposed any restrictions imposed by the United States led western countries on China's Xinjiang textile and clothing supply chain and related products, and strongly urged them to stop their wrong practices.

China Cotton Association said that recently, a number of international clothing brands issued a statement banning cotton products in Xinjiang, which aroused the concern of the whole society, seriously damaged the reputation of Xinjiang and even China's cotton textile industry, causing adverse effects.

Xinjiang is the largest cotton producing area in China, with an annual output of about 5 million tons, accounting for more than 80% of the domestic cotton production. More than 50% of the farmers in Xinjiang grow cotton, and more than 70% of them are ethnic minorities. Cotton has become the main income source of local farmers in Xinjiang, especially in Hotan, Aksu, Kashgar, Kezhou and other Uygur areas in southern Xinjiang. Cotton planting income has accounted for more than 80% of the total agricultural income. Xinjiang's cotton textile production capacity is about 17 million spindles, and the yarn output is 1.85 million tons, providing nearly 600000 local employment.

According to the statistics of China Customs, China's textile and garment exports will reach 296.23 billion US dollars in 2020. With its high-quality products and services, China has become the most reliable purchasing base for global textile and garment import enterprises. Chinese textile and garment products, including Xinjiang, are welcomed by consumers from all over the world.

China's cotton and textile industry has been safeguarding the rights and interests of employees such as decent work, improving the production and living conditions of workers and improving the quality of products, so as to provide stable and efficient supply chain services for global clothing and retail brands. For a long time, cotton farmers, textile workers and other ordinary workers from China have made great contributions to the prosperity and development of the world cotton textile industry, which is worthy of fair treatment. The brutal crackdown from Western governments will not only directly harm the most vulnerable groups in the industrial chain - millions of cotton farmers and textile workers in Xinjiang, but also seriously damage the interests of textile and clothing consumers, retailers, distributors and importers in various countries, and ultimately harm the stability and prosperity of the world textile and clothing supply chain and industrial chain.

At the same time, China Cotton Association calls on international textile and garment brands to respect the Chinese market and Chinese consumers from the common interests of the industry, and to be cautious and restrained against groundless accusations about Xinjiang; We welcome all parties in the global cotton textile industry chain to learn more about the real situation of Xinjiang's cotton industry through various ways, such as visiting Xinjiang and the third party's due diligence investigation, so as to jointly promote the transparency of the industrial chain and enhance understanding and mutual trust.
