Peace activists say U.S. action on Uygur rights pretext aimed at destabilization
The United States ban on Xinjiang-grown cotton over allegations of forced labor is aimed at destabilizing China, said some peace activists who also accuse the U.S. government of failing to address its own human rights violations.
The administration of then-U.S. president Donald Trump imposed an import ban on all cotton products from the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region early this year over allegations that they are made with the forced labor of Uygur Muslims, which has been repeatedly denied by China.
