WASHINGTON (US): China has been accused by the US State Department for what it called a “state-led” social media campaign in China against US and other international companies for deciding not to use cotton from China’s Xinjiang region over forced labor concerns.
“We commend and stand with companies that adhere to US laws and ensure that products we are consuming are not made with forced labor,” State Department spokeswoman Jalina Porter said at a regular news briefing.
