抵制
Backlash

Several clothing brands, including H&M and Nike, are facing a backlash on social media in China, following their decision to stop sourcing cotton from northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

对此，外交部发言人华春莹表示，“新疆地区的棉花是世界上最好的棉花之一，不用是相关企业的损失。”华春莹在当日例行记者会上说，有关新疆地区“强迫劳动”的指责完全是个别反华势力炮制的恶意谎言，目的是抹黑中国形象，破坏新疆安全稳定，阻遏中国发展。（戳这里回顾）

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said that "forced labor" in Xinjiang is a complete lie and a smear campaign concocted by some anti-China organizations. Their aim is to harm Xinjiang's safety and stability so as to detain China's development, Hua noted. Hua also highlighted Xinjiang's cotton industry by saying it produces one of the best cottons globally and offers a lot of job opportunities to local residents, including the people of ethnic minority groups.
