How you feel about the recent BCI movement？
Recently, BCI movement was broken out. I think better cotton initiative as a organization must be more objective. When they reported the news, they should research enough. Everything has two sides, good or not. All of consumers, companies, organizations should look at the issue in all ways. Some foreign companies said they didn’t want to use xinjiang cotton because of the forced labor. We cannot judge one thing based on some wrong research or without any research. Due to the BCI movement，lots of famous stars canceled contracts with some foreign companies. Also many consumers claimed they wouldn’t buy these company’s products. In my opinion, it is not necessary for people to resist all. All of us should be rational. Though there are some problems with these companies, we also can go there to buy products in need. And these companies and organizations should apologize to people sincerely and immediately when they found their mistakes. As public companies, they should give people more positive influence.
