[theqoo] VICTORIA WHO CANCELLED HER CONTRACT WITH H&M AFTER THEY ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WON'T BE USING COTTON FROM XINJIANG ANYMORE

T/N: H&M released a statement saying that they will stop using cotton from Xinjiang in support of the Uyghur community living there. Here's an excerpt from NY times: H&M said that it was “deeply concerned by reports from civil society organizations and media that include accusations of forced labor and discrimination of ethno-religious minorities” in Xinjiang and that it had stopped buying cotton from growers in the region. More than eight months later, in the wake of sanctions by Western countries against China for its treatment of Uyghurs, H&M is facing online backlash from Chinese consumers. (read more here)

"H&M, China's rebellion against the boycott of Xinjiang products"

After H&M, a world-class fashion brand, announced their boycott of Xinjiang products, accusing China Xinjiang's abuse on the Uyghurs' human rights, Victoria announced that she will cut ties with the company.

Article from last October:

"Global fashion brand 'H&M' presents a collaborative collection with actress and singer Victoria Song.

This 'Inspired by Victoria Song' collection consists of costumes inspired by her fashion style, and Victoria is also a direct campaign model, drawing more attention. This collection is designed for the modern woman who wants to express herself and reflects a commitment to sustainability and a minimalist style."

Let's try to translate her statement?

"The country's interests are ahead of anything else, and I firmly reject all acts of stigmatization against China, and I firmly oppose acts of desecration and profanity against the country and its people through such commercial means." (T/N: if anyone can read Chinese, please let us know in the comments!)
