This week, Western retail companies have faced backlash in China due to ‘concerns’ over Xinjiang Cotton. In response, a large number of Chinese celebrities have terminated brand endorsement deals with these retail brands.<\/p>\n
The online uproar first manifested when Chinese netizens placed the spotlight on an announcement made by the Swedish retail giant H&M last year. In the notice, the company stated that it has “stopped using products from Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autnomous Region” over alleged ‘forced labour’ concerns.<\/p>\n
