It’s the first large brand I’ve heard standing up to the abuses of the CCP like this though. Not gonna shop there forever, but I want to show support for this rare and commendable action.
If you have some other large brands that are similarly taking a big financial hit to stand up to what’s going on in Xinjiang, I’ll patronize them instead.

They were in a lose lose situation. They lost. Could they have done better? I think so. They could have made a claim that all items would be labelled so consumers could choose. Or they could have said nothing sold in Europe/the west contained Chinese cotton. But that compromise might have just gotten them boycotted in both places.
- jfengel 6y agoI gotta say that if I walk into a store and see shelves labeled "with slave labor" and "slave labor free", I'm walking out the door without either. I know that the negative consequences of many of my actions are hidden from me, including some that I'm semi-consciously ignoring. But when something credibly rises to my attention, I will at least try to let my conscience take precedence over pricing.
