Autonomous Region Federation of trade unions, autonomous region women's Federation, Xinjiang Cotton Association issued a statement

No force is allowed to stain the white cotton of Xinjiang

Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Federation of trade unions:

Defile Xinjiang cotton, we will never agree

Recently, anti china forces in the United States and the West have banded together to discredit the human rights situation in Xinjiang, fabricating the so-called "hundreds of thousands of ethnic minority workers in Xinjiang are forced to pick cotton by hand through China's compulsory labor transfer and poverty alleviation program", which fully exposes these "clowns" trying to interfere in Xinjiang under the guise of human rights by creating the so-called Xinjiang issue China's internal affairs, the sinister intention to undermine the security and stability of Xinjiang.

As the main cotton production area in China, Xinjiang cotton has realized mechanization, intelligence and large-scale sowing in recent years. A few days ago, pomegranate cloud client and county-level financial media center jointly launched the live broadcast of "unmanned" machine broadcasting in Xinjiang's million mu cotton fields, which comprehensively and vividly showed the moving picture of high-quality development of cotton industry in Xinjiang under the enabling of science and technology, as well as comprehensively promoting rural revitalization and accelerating agricultural and rural modernization. At present, the cotton mechanical picking rate in Xinjiang has reached 75.5%, and 95% in Northern Xinjiang. Cotton pickers choose cotton growers according to their own wishes. According to the regulations on collective negotiation of wages of enterprises in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and regulations on the protection of workers' labor rights and interests in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and other local laws and regulations, cotton pickers sign labor contracts on the basis of equality, voluntariness and consensus, and obtain corresponding remuneration. They also enjoy full freedom in choosing cotton picking sites.

We fully respect and protect the rights of ethnic minority employees to use their own national languages. Employees can choose which language to use for communication. The trade union organization of the enterprise fully respects the customs and habits of employees of all ethnic groups, provides halal catering for employees, and at the same time, in order to enrich the cultural and entertainment life of employees, it has purchased sports and entertainment products such as basketball, table tennis, football, etc., and organized and carried out activities such as arts and art parties, social gatherings and festivals.

We have set up a wide range of "Fengqiao Experience" staff legal service stations, and set up a volunteer group of lawyers to protect the rights and interests of employees. We provide free legal advisory assistance and psychological counseling for employees of all ethnic groups, and strive to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of employees. We will actively carry out activities such as "respecting the law and abiding by the law and building a dream hand in hand" to provide public legal services for workers of all ethnic groups in the aspects of labor remuneration right, rest and vacation right, labor safety and health protection right, and social insurance and welfare right.

Labor is the foundation of existence, the foundation of development, the source of happiness, and the necessary condition for creating a better life. People of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang understand that "the Nang fragrance of laborers" will not fall from the sky. Good days will depend on their own hands to create. They all hope to find stable jobs and earn more money. For example, in Kashgar area, the average annual income of the working age labor force is about 4000 yuan, and after working in the enterprise, the average annual income is more than 20000 yuan; if the husband and wife work in the enterprise, the annual income can reach more than 60000 yuan. Through hard work, they improved their family life, and their sense of gain and happiness were significantly enhanced.

As we all know, the United States is the country where forced labor really exists. The annual report on human trafficking issued by the United States recognizes that the problems of forced labor, forced prostitution and debt enslavement in the United States are serious. It is the source country, destination country and transit country of human trafficking. Even American officials also participate in human trafficking and forced labor. On June 10, 2015, the International Union of trade unions issued a report, which listed the United States as one of the countries that systematically violated workers' rights.

A lie can't be repeated a thousand times. No matter how vilified and vilified the Western Anti China forces, they can not stop the pace of Xinjiang's prosperity and development, nor change the good situation of unity, friendship, mutual help and common progress of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. China's market is big enough, and the world's market is big enough. Xinjiang's cotton planting and marketing will not be fundamentally affected by the so-called "sanctions". One after another, cotton bears the hope of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to become rich through hard work. It is a vivid story that the Chinese government protects the people's right to work and development in Xinjiang. The black heart of Western politicians can not stain the white cotton in Xinjiang. If they don't know how to restrain themselves, the working class in Xinjiang will never accept it!

Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region women's Federation:

Xinjiang women's sister's splendid road can not be obstructed

Recently, the Anti China forces in the United States and the west, on the basis of the so-called "forced labor", concocted a big lie and boycotted Xinjiang cotton. Their attempt to destroy, discredit and stigmatize Xinjiang's stability, harmony and stability is simply wishful thinking and daydreaming. Women and sisters of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang express their strong indignation and resolute opposition to this!

Xinjiang cotton industry is an important way for Xinjiang sisters to increase their income and become rich. Xinjiang has a unique cotton planting conditions, Xinjiang production of long staple cotton, high quality, high yield, has been in short supply. As the dominant industry in Xinjiang, cotton industry supports the high-quality development of Xinjiang economy and guarantees the people's living and working in peace and contentment. At the same time, with the strong support of the national cotton industry strategic planning and various policies, Xinjiang has become the region with the hottest investment, the lowest cost and the fastest development of the textile and clothing industry in China. The progress and development of cotton industry is the result of the hard work of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. At the same time, the masses of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang are also the biggest beneficiaries of cotton industry. Through hard work and relying on scientific farming, ordinary cotton farmers have become rich experts in a few years. In the rural areas of Xinjiang, many sisters harvest hope through hard work, and dig out a gold like future from the cotton field. Every September in the golden autumn, the sisters join in the work of picking cotton. After more than two months of picking, they can earn more than 10000 yuan.

In the process of Xinjiang textile and clothing industry driving the transfer of surplus labor force in southern Xinjiang, many rural women have changed from farmers to industrial workers, weaving a good life on the textile production line. Rebikuli Turdi, a villager of qunbus village, naizerbag Town, Kashgar City, has been employed in the industrial park near her home for three years. Relying on her exquisite sewing skills, she has made a stable income. There are three garment processing cooperatives founded by women rich leaders in boyila village, boshkranmu Township, Kashgar City. Through cooperatives + farmers, more than 40 women's dream of employment at home has been realized. With the help of the development of Xinjiang textile and garment industry, buzuola Rouzi of aketao county established a professional cooperative of gold needle manual embroidery, leading more than 100 sisters to get rich together. It can be said that women are the beneficiaries of a series of industrial development from cotton planting to cotton picking, and then to the production and processing of cotton products.

The cotton industry in Xinjiang has set up a platform for communication and integration between Xinjiang and the mainland women. With the rapid development of cotton industry in Xinjiang, florists from Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places are attracted to Xinjiang every year. They eat, live and work with the women and sisters of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, have close contact, communicate deeply, learn from each other, and make progress together. The flower of national unity is rooted in the heart 。 In promoting the development of clothing industry with ethnic characteristics in Xinjiang, female talents exchange skills in handicrafts and embroidery industry between Xinjiang and the mainland. The "felt" and "Ke embroidery" elements of Xinjiang have gone to the whole country, and elements such as Shu embroidery and Xiang embroidery have been absorbed into Xinjiang's clothing and apparel, making Xinjiang's clothing and handicrafts more colorful and diversified. The integration of culture and art has further deepened the exchanges and exchanges between women and sisters in Xinjiang and the mainland.

Women of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang participate in labor and employment on their own initiative. "Happiness comes from struggle.". We firmly believe that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, relying on hard-working hands, we can create a better life. In terms of employment, sisters of all ethnic groups choose employment according to their own will, sign labor contracts according to law, determine labor relations, enjoy labor remuneration rights, rest and vacation rights, and women's legitimate rights and interests during pregnancy, childbirth and lactation are also protected by law. Women of all ethnic groups work and live freely and happily. The confident smile on their faces shows their love and dedication to their profession.

Please stop stigmatizing Xinjiang by the US and Western Anti China forces. We have a strong motherland and compatriots with one heart and one mind. Your sinister intentions will never succeed! The splendid road of Xinjiang sisters of all ethnic groups will surely go wider and wider!

Xinjiang Cotton Association:

Firmly defend Xinjiang cotton

Recently, H & M company's statement of "stop using Xinjiang cotton" and several foreign textile and garment companies proposed to boycott Xinjiang cotton have angered the Chinese people. The Xinjiang Cotton Association expressed strong dissatisfaction and indignation at their ugly behavior of planting cotton in Xinjiang without any bottom line of business ethics. We hereby solemnly declare that we are firmly opposed to any act of stigmatizing Xinjiang cotton, and that some international brands and institutions exclude Xinjiang cotton and its products from their supply chain and daily business based on lies and false information. The so-called existence of "forced labor" in Xinjiang, China, is a complete lie and political manipulation.

Xinjiang has unique natural conditions, abundant sunshine and long cotton growth time. It is not only the largest high-quality cotton production base in China, but also the only long staple cotton production area in China. It is also one of the most important high-quality cotton production bases in the world. It plays an important role in China and even in the world. The annual output of cotton in Xinjiang is about 5 million tons, accounting for more than 80% of the domestic cotton output. Cotton production covers a wide range in Xinjiang. More than 50% of farmers grow cotton. Cotton has become the main source of income for local farmers in Xinjiang, especially in Hotan region, Aksu region, Kashgar region and Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture. Cotton planting income accounts for more than 80% of the total agricultural income. The production and development of cotton in Xinjiang ensured the livelihood of cotton growers, cotton textile workers and their family members, and improved their lives. Especially in recent years, the popularization and popularization of machine picking cotton has improved the cotton planting efficiency in Xinjiang, and greatly reduced the planting cost, especially the labor cost.

The improvement of cotton production capacity in Xinjiang has strongly promoted the development of cotton textile industry in Xinjiang. At present, Xinjiang's cotton textile production capacity has reached about 17 million spindles, which has solved nearly 600000 local employment. It has become one of the important ways to promote the employment of poor labor force and help poverty alleviation. As an important part of the local textile and clothing industry, Xinjiang cotton textile industry has made great contributions to the elimination of local poverty.

For a long time, Xinjiang cotton association has been committed to promoting the high-quality and sustainable development of Xinjiang cotton industry. Taking "environment-friendly, decent work, good quality and full traceability" as the production standard of cotton and its finished products, Xinjiang cotton association has continuously improved the organization and specialization of cotton and cotton products production and management, and comprehensively created the high-quality image of Xinjiang's cotton products. We will continue to firmly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the whole cotton industry chain in Xinjiang, continue to serve the members of the association and the industry, play a good role of "bridge" and "link" between the government, enterprises and cotton, and promote the healthy development of Xinjiang cotton industry.

Xinjiang Cotton Association hereby calls on relevant brands and institutions to stop excluding Xinjiang cotton and its products from their own supply chain. This kind of wrong behavior ignores the development and progress of human rights in Xinjiang, and seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of cotton growers and textile and garment industry workers of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to obtain remuneration and improve their living standards through their work, which is a typical "century lie". Their hypocritical acts of false concern, genuine interference and sabotage are disgusting.

Xinjiang Cotton Association welcomes overseas brand merchants and multinational enterprises in the textile supply chain system to visit Xinjiang, to see the vigorous development of Xinjiang cotton industry and the bumper harvest of 10000 mu of cotton fields, to understand the development of cotton planting and cotton textile industry in Xinjiang, to understand the employment and poverty alleviation situation of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, and to carry out business decisions based on objective facts. We are looking forward to building an objective and friendly textile industry cooperation relationship with the majority of cotton textile enterprises and institutions.
