China is Fast Retailing’s biggest overseas market with over 900 Uniqlo stores on the mainland.
BEIJING - Casual wear giant Uniqlo is facing calls for a consumer boycott in China after the chief executive officer of the clothing company’s owner said it does not source cotton from China’s Xinjiang, which has faced allegations of forced labour in recent years.
Two hashtags on Mr Yanai’s comment went viral on Nov 29 on Chinese social media platform Weibo, where several users slammed the company and vowed to never purchase its products. China is Fast Retailing’s biggest overseas market and it has more than 900 stores on the mainland. Greater China, including Taiwan and Hong Kong, accounts for more than 20 per cent of the company’s revenue.
This was demonstrated by the consumer boycott Uniqlo’s rival, H&M, faced in China in 2021 for a statement posted on its website where it expressed concern about the allegations of forced labour in Xinjiang and said it would no longer source cotton from there.
