China Calls U.S. Ban on Uyghur Slave-Picked Cotton ‘Naked Act of Bullying’
Breitbart ^ | 09/15/2020 | Frances Martel

Posted on 09/16/2020 11:02:05 AM PDT by DFG

A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Tuesday decried the U.S.-enacted limits on importing cotton, apparel, hair products, and other goods from companies reasonably believed to be engaging in slave labor in China, calling the sanctions a “naked act of bullying.”

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in tandem with Customs and Border Protection (CBP), announced five new Withhold Release Orders on products from Xinjiang, China’s westernmost province, believed to be home to over 1,000 concentration camps. China has imprisoned as many as 3 million Muslims, most of ethnic Uyghur descent, in the camps, where survivors say they are subject to indoctrination, torture, rape, forced sterilization, and slavery. The Withhold Release Orders prohibit importing goods from six Chinese companies operating in Xinjiang, affecting hair products, computer parts, and cotton and clothing.

Very consistent those Commies. Communists always accuse others of their own crimes.

Chicoms capture and enslave them, force labor in a concentration camp.

US calls them on that and refuses their ill-gotten merchandise profits.

So we are the bad guys and bullies?

Poor babies should go eat some dogs or cats ——or diseased bats——and leave us alone.

China needs to understand the first thing about selling products:

THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.

In the real world the producer cannot “demand” that someone buy their products.

Just curious...

“ Don’t they use machines to pick cotton these days?”

The little brother of an old girlfriend ended up in the Huntsville Texas state pen for armed robbery. He said he never wanted to see another cotton plant ever again. I asked him that same question, and he said they had to weed cotton fields without any tools.

However, the Chicoms are the kind of people who believe a thousand laborers with wooden shovels and wicker baskets are better than one bulldozer.
