The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on the 11th (local time) that "MUJI," a Japanese household goods brand, is receiving applause in China for publicly announcing that it is using cotton from China's Xinjiang Uighur, which is causing controversy over forced labor.
According to this, unmanned goods display the phrase "height cotton" next to some products at online stores in China.
When investigating cotton farms in Xinjiang last year, the company said it did not find any actual cases of human rights violations, adding last month that the use of Xinjiang cotton could help Uighur residents live.
This is a completely different response from the U.S. government and Western human rights groups' announcement that companies will not use Xinjiang cotton in their products after questioning forced labor in Xinjiang Uighur.
