China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Textiles: Strongly urges the US to lift sanctions and suppressive measures on Xinjiang products

The China Textile ImportExport Chamber of Commerce issued a statement on the 25th regarding its opposition to the U.S. Xinjiang-related bill, and firmly opposes the U.S.’s impact on China’s Xinjiang textile and apparel supply chain and related products impose any restrictions and strongly urge the US to withdraw various sanctions and suppression measures.

On December 23rd, Eastern Time, the United States signed into law the so-called “Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act”, which presumes all products produced in Xinjiang to be so-called “forced labor” products and prohibitsImportProducts related to Xinjiang.

The statement stated that this move ignored the truth, completely violated market principles and WTO rules, seriously disrupted the normal international trade order, seriously harmed the interests of Chinese and American textile and apparel enterprises and consumers, and undermined the supply of the global textile and apparel industry chain. The China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Textiles expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this.

The statement pointed out that the US accusation of the so-called “forced labor” problem in Xinjiang is purely fabricated and has no factual basis. China’s textile and apparel industry has always been committed to safeguarding workers’ rights and interests such as decent work and providing stable and efficient supply chain services for the global textile and apparel market. Workers in the textile and garment industry in Xinjiang, like people in other parts of China, enjoy full citizen laboremployment rights and economic development rights in accordance with the law.

The statement stated that the brutal suppression from the U.S. government will not only directly harm millions of Xinjiang cotton farmers and textile workers, disrupt the normal operation of China’s textile and apparel supply chain, but will also seriously damage U.S. textile and apparel consumers, retailers, and distributors. The interests of merchants and importers will put Sino-US textile and apparel economic and trade cooperation in danger, and will ultimately harm all parties in the world’s textile and apparel supply chain and industrial chain. This is a real violation of human rights.

The China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Textiles always welcomes international partners, institutions and enterprises in the Chinese textile and apparel industry to visit and see Xinjiang to understand the real situation in Xinjiang. It is also willing to provide positive support for enterprises from various countries to carry out trade and investment in Xinjiang. support.

The statement stated that the Chamber of Commerce is willing to proceed from the common interests of industries in China and the United States, strengthen communication and exchanges with relevant industry organizations and industries in the United States, and strive to maintain the stability of economic and trade relations in the textile and apparel field between China and the United States. At the same time, we hope that global textile and apparel companies and consumers, including the United States, can recognize the United States’ long-term attempts to discredit China’s image and curb China’s development under the guise of “human rights” and make independent judgments based on facts and truth.

The statement also stated that the Chamber of Commerce firmly supports the Chinese government in taking necessary measures against the unreasonable actions of the United States, making strong countermeasures, and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
