The US sanctions on Xinjiang cotton under the pretext of ‘forced labour’ and ‘violation of human rights’ will damage the global cotton industry chain, says a report released by the Institute for Communication and Borderland Governance at the Jinan University in Guangzhou. The sanctions are a typical example of ‘the beneficiary crying as a victim’, it said.

The sanctions are a scheming lie of ‘fictitious justice’, through which the slickness of the US government is plain to see, the report, titled ‘Hindering Trade, Increasing Costs and Disrupting the Industrial Chain: Impacts of U.S. Xinjiang-Related Sanctions on Global Cotton Industrial Chain’, said.

From sowing, managing to harvest, Xinjiang's cotton production is expected to be fully mechanised soon, according to official Chinese media. Until now, cotton sowing has been almost 100 per cent mechanised.

As China's cotton industry has become an irreplaceable industrial link in the global cotton textile industry because of its quality raw materials, comprehensive supply chain and established industrial chain, the disruption of that industry is tantamount to disrupting the global cotton industry chain, added the report.
