Intel is facing criticism in China after it asked suppliers not to use Xinjiang labour or products, threatening to ensnare the US chipmaker in a dispute over human rights in the far western Chinese region.
Intel’s stance on Xinjiang isn’t new: the chipmaker’s corporate responsibility report released earlier this year said due diligence checks showed it didn’t use any labour or source goods or services from the region. The Santa Clara, California-based chipmaker, which derived more than a quarter of its 2020 revenue from China, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Hennes & Mauritz AB, the fast-fashion retailer that once counted China as its fourth-largest market, was boycotted by local consumers and forced to shutter stores after saying it stopped sourcing cotton from Xinjiang. Its revenue in the country fell 40% in the quarter through August. Nike Inc and Uniqlo-owner Fast Retailing Co have also come under fire over the issue.
