Die Baumwollernte in Xinjiang steht im Verdacht von Zwangsarbeit. Etliche Einkäufer meiden deshalb das Garn aus China. Doch die Rohstoffpreise steigen, bald werden das auch die Konsumenten spüren. Es bleibt jedoch keine Alternative zu höheren Preisen, wenn der Kampf gegen Zwangsarbeit ernst gemeint ist.

There are various motives behind this: China wants to present itself as a responsible great power and, at the same time score points with Muslim states in the region. The US is portrayed as a disruptive factor for peace.
