H&M抵制新疆棉花？这一波，实在是荒（Huāng）谬（Miù）！

近日，国外服装企业H&M集团被曝光发布声明抵制新疆棉花产品，引发众怒。目前国内多个电商平台已下架H&M相关产品。新华微评写道：一边干着伤害中国的事情，一边又想在中国赚得盆满钵满，这样的如意算盘，谁也别想打！

H&M声明抵制新疆产品

事件源于H&M的一份声明。声明称“H&M集团对来自民间社会组织的报告和媒体的报道深表关注，其中包括对新疆维吾尔自治区少数民族强迫劳动和宗教歧视的指控”，决定“不与位于新疆的任何服装制造工厂合作，也不从该地区采购产品/原材料”。

In an earlier statement published on its official website, H&M said due to "reports from civil society organizations and media that include accusations of forced labor and discrimination of ethnoreligious minorities in Xinjiang," the company does not work with any garment manufacturing factories from Xinjiang and does not source products from there.

H&M作出该项决定，自称因其已经加入BCI“更好棉花倡议”。BCI据查是一个全球性非营利组织，该组织在去年10月份发布公告称，停止其中国新疆维吾尔自治区所有实地活动，为针对新疆的不实指控造势。

H&M集团的这份声明引发网友愤怒：一边抵制新疆产品，一边又想赚中国人的钱？痴心妄想！

电商平台：H&M下架

事件发生后，淘宝和京东等电商平台纷纷下架H&M的产品。

Major e-commerce sites such as Alibaba Group's Taobao and JD.com have pulled products related to retailer H&M.

此外，小米应用商店、华为应用商店、vivo应用商店、腾讯应用宝均已下架H&M商城APP。

3月24日晚，H&M官方微博发表声明作出回应。但这份最新声明并未直接提及新疆，也未就抹黑新疆言论道歉。声明称，H&M集团通过全球认证的第三方来采购更可持续的棉花，目的是支持世界各地的棉农采取更可持续的种植方式来种植棉花。H&M集团并不直接从任何供应商处采购棉花。另外，H&M表示，关于全球供应链管理部分，集团一贯秉持公开透明的原则，并不代表任何政治立场。

At about 8:30 pm on Wednesday, H&M published a statement on Weibo, saying that it has abided by the principle of being open and transparent when managing its global supply chains, and has made sure all suppliers comply with its guidelines.

“我们致力于在中国的长期投入与发展，目前在中国与超过350家生产厂商合作。”

"The company does not represent any political stance," it said. "The company has always respected Chinese customers and is committed to long-term investment and development in the country." The company now has cooperation deals with more than 350 manufacturers in China, the statement said.

不过，H&M的声明并不令网友满意，纷纷批评这一声明“模糊”、“令人不解”。

Chinese netizens have voiced their outrage at the company's stance. Online netizens have so far criticized the statement for being vague and incomprehensible.

西方企业“碰瓷”新疆棉花引不满

除了H&M外，发表过与新疆棉花“切割”言论的外国企业还有不少。其中包括BCI成员巴宝莉、阿迪达斯、耐克、新百伦等。

相关新闻曝出后，涉品牌艺人黄轩、宋茜、王一博、谭松韵等发表声明，称与品牌已无合作。

Several Chinese celebrities announced around the same time on Wednesday that they have terminated contracts with the global clothing brand, and "steadfastly object to" any action aimed at smearing or spreading misinformation about China and its people.

3月24日，安踏官方微博@安踏体育发表声明称，注意到了近日BCI发表的声明，并对此事严重关切，我们正在启动相关程序，退出该组织。声明还称，安踏一直采购和使用中国棉产区出产的棉花，包括新疆棉，在未来也将继续采购和使用中国棉。

On Wednesday, domestic sportswear company Anta said it has withdrawn from the Better Cotton Initiative, a nonprofit organization devoted to improving global cotton production. The organization has previously accused Xinjiang of using forced labor to plant and harvest cotton. "We have been purchasing and using cotton produced in China, including that from Xinjiang, and in the future, we will continue to do so," Anta said in the statement.

也有网友发现包括李宁在内的国产品牌此前已将“新疆棉”写在标签上。

强迫劳动？真实的新疆采棉场景长这样！

23日，暨南大学传播与边疆治理研究院发布题为《“强迫劳动”还是“追求美好生活”——新疆籍工人内地务工情况》的调研报告，以翔实的第一手素材戳破了西方一些媒体所谓中国政府“强迫劳动”“歧视少数民族”的谎言。法国作家维瓦斯也在其著作《维吾尔族假新闻的终结》中明确揭露了某些从未去过新疆的人制造假新闻的阴谋。
