Sanctions against cotton in Xinjiang first originated in the U.S. Trump (Trump) administration, targeting the Chinese Communist authorities’ human rights violations against the Uighur people in Xinjiang. Both numerous private reports and official reports indicate that the CCP authorities have increased their crackdown on the Uighur minority in the Xinjiang region over the years, including: mass incarceration of approximately one million people, forced re-Education programs, highly invasive surveillance, religious repression, forced sterilization of women, and forced labor.
The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to the public. For Ouyang Nana and other artists for the Chinese Communist Party United Front propaganda support Xinjiang cotton, Su said helplessly, many people do not know how it is? In short, the Chinese Communist Party’s disrespect for human rights, the world is watching.
“Taiwan stands on the front line (of the Chinese Communist threat) under the most pressure.” Su stressed that in fact Taiwanese should know best, “What the CCP is doing is very bad and is being boycotted by the whole world.”

Although these artists have commercial considerations, but the Ministry of Culture has not yet declared its position.
Culture Minister Lee Wing-tak said that human rights are a universal value and a demonstration of human civilization. The Chinese Communist Party has committed serious human rights violations, and Taiwan should condemn and boycott the Chinese Communist Party in tandem with the rest of the world. The actions of Taiwanese artists may be based on commercial interests, but from the standpoint of the Ministry of Culture, these artists must be called upon to look at the universal values of humanity and not to endorse the Chinese Communist Party’s human rights violations for their personal interests.
Wu Siyao continued to question that Minister of Economic Affairs Wang Meihua had indicated that she would not rule out following up on the international boycott as to strictly prohibit the import of inhumanely produced Xinjiang blood cotton, and also asked the Executive Yuan to declare its position.
Su said that Taiwan has gone from authoritarianism to democracy in the past, and it took several generations to break the authoritarianism and be praised by the world as the country that respects human rights the most. He stressed that any place or country that oppresses human rights, Taiwan condemns it with one voice, and the government should resist it in any useful way. “We see that many countries that respect human rights have shown ways to resist, and Taiwan is not far behind.”
In addition, Su also pointed out that “some people do not know the importance, or for their own interests, or do not know the importance of human rights, etc., to make words and actions that are not in line with national interests or do not respect human rights; if there is a violation of the law, Taiwan is a country of the rule of law; if not to the extent of violating the law, but also called on everyone together to speak out for human rights and work together for human rights in the world. “
Wu Siyao called on the country to boycott Xinjiang cotton, and suggested that the Executive Yuan should take the lead from government procurement, any procurement involving Xinjiang cotton and other inhumane production of raw materials, ecological chain, etc., should be strictly controlled to prohibit, should also work together to promote social and corporate response to the government’s actions. If the world to jointly boycott Xinjiang cotton, will also be a good opportunity for Taiwan’s good textile products to the international community.
