ISLAMABAD, April 2 (Xinhua) -- The accusation of "forced labor" in China's Xinjiang region and the boycott against the region's cotton by the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) are groundless and politically motivated, a Pakistani expert has said. The targeted propaganda of the BCI deliberately ignored the ground facts and realities, Chairman of the Pakistan Cotton Ginners Association Jassu Mal, who has been to Xinjiang several times and witnessed the advancement and modernization of the region's cotton industry, told Xinhua in a recent interview.
BEIJING, April 1 (Xinhua) -- Over recent weeks, some Western groups are clamoring about "forced labor" claims in the cotton industry in China's Xinjiang region. But their hype sounds like a conspiracy all too familiar.

URUMQI, March 26 (Xinhua) -- If there is anything that can best illustrate some Western anti-China forces' mudslinging on China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, it would be the region's cotton constantly tainted by groundless rumors. Some Western politicians continue to cite false reports of "forced labor" in the Chinese region's cotton and textile industry, forcing bans on imports or sourcing of Xinjiang cotton out of so-called "human rights concerns.
