Chinese apps join celebs in backlash against Western fashion brands over Xinjian

I hope they push back so hard that everyone quits trying to placate the sensibilities of the CCP and we can cease the nauseating corporate double speak, e.g. Black Lives Matter in America, keep your mouth shut in China (the NBA being a particularly egregious offender here).

"Search results for H&M in the Didi Chuxing ride-hailing app for all of China’s major cities yielded no results on Friday."

The state is using their control of the economic system to inflict damage on specific importers, this is the kind of stuff that violates every concept of free/fair trade - which is fine, China can chose to play by those rules - but they have to be kicked out of the WTO etc., and there can't be any reasonable hope for trade parity, i.e. tariffs should rise and stay until they want to agree to roughly symmetrical rules.

First and foremost, all Western importers should spend a few days not buying from some specific Chinese company. That would require coordination however.

> The Human Rights section of H&M’s website hmgroup.com on Friday no longer carried the link to the 2020 statement on Xinjiang. The statement could still be accessed through the page’s direct address.

> Statements expressing concern about or intolerance of forced labour in Xinjiang previously seen on the websites of Inditex, VF Corp, PVH and Abercrombie & Fitch were no longer available on Thursday.

Wow, on some meeting, probably: “slavery is bad blah blah, but we are losing money here - take down those statements!”

Can we stop saying we're accusing them of genocide? They're clearly doing this to several cultures and are provoking international law in the South China sea. It's very clear China is the enemy of the free and loving wisdom that represents all of humanity.
