作为一个维族人更应该反对美国的新疆棉花政策,因为它会导致新疆大量的棉花产品出售不了,直接侵害了维族人民的生活。

but genocide and hard labour never happened in China!

USA don’t care about Chinese people or uygur, they are not even care their own Asian and black citizens . Stop pretending you care and all you do it ban the uygur products so America can sell more cotton.

That s machine doing the work !!!

CNN and BBC are both fake news producers. Everyone knows that

Remember, many of these entertainers have already 'disappeared' or are under threat of.🇳🇿

I already check labels and am choosing to not purchase items made in China when I can because of human rights abuses.

I like nigger! I am american.

CNN, before you serve politics.Consider for a moment that more and more Chinese are watching you lie.

Let me debunk CNN's rhetoric.CNN said China restricts freedom of speech.Give you the illusion that these stars are forced to speak out for politics.

CNN: 'Fake news is what we're good at'

The girl come from xinjiang

Of course they defend, if not, the SOCIAL SCORE goes down and they have social and political rights supressed. The Big Brother Watches You.

Wtf?\rBut there are no real journalists in the United States.Just people who can't do real journalism and play pretend

中國棉花很軟,但中國人很硬,我們絕不放任無良企業亂“彈”

流言止於智者,興於愚者,起於謀者

Take a bowl to eat, put down the chopsticks and scold your mother

Good. At least Chinese celebrities have back bones. Gotta fight against bully. Lies have consequences

I have been laughing at American politicians for forgetting their cotton history and serf history.

Due to China's tight restrictions on free speech? Hmmm, celebrities in China could NOT just express their patriotism, they must been forced, right?

If China was a free country, I would be the first to blame them. Can't do it now and those of you who can are apparently extraordinarily brave people.

The news about Xinjiang is completely fake news and can be easily identified by anyone who has been to Xinjiang. How can anyone believe that genocide exists in a place with a growing population and a rapidly growing economy. This is ridiculous

Guess that's what happens when you're just a tool used to maintain the status quo

We have plenty of issues here in USA. How about we fix out shit before we point fingers. 🤔

boycottchineseproducts buylocal producelocal the pandemic made alot clear....

CNN should report those news about discrimination in USA rather than making fake news.

You mean Chinese celebrities don’t want to get arrested for speaking out against the government?

Allegations my ass. The evidence is daming.

Hey while I have your attention, SupremelyBased is actively advocating for the rape of women. Please report him everyone.
