Patrioticism is intensifying among Chinese people right after the US and China clashed at a high-level talk in Alaska on the 18th and 19th. This is because of the influence that the Chinese government has repeatedly poured out hard comments on Western countries, signaling that China will no longer lower its stance on the United States. Various patriotic goods are being sold on fire online in China, creating an atmosphere among the Chinese to support the Chinese government’s head-to-head confrontation.

According to local media such as Tencent Wang on the 26th, Chinese patriotic products are being sold in large quantities at major Chinese online shopping malls such as Taobao Mall. Popular items include t-shirts, cell phone cases, bags, water bottles, etc. with phrases such as’Chinese people do not work with this technique’,’The United States does not deserve to talk to China’,’Stop interfering in internal affairs with China’. to be. Beers and traditional Chinese liquors coated with the phrase are also gaining popularity.

Even recently, when Swedish fashion brand H&M officially announced boycott of Xinjiang products, fearing the issue of suppressing the human rights of minorities in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region in China, t-shirts are being sold online. H&M’s capitalization was changed to indicate’Mian Hua’ for cotton in Chinese to support consumption of kidney products.

Meanwhile, global fashion brands such as H&M and Nike declared that they would not procure products and raw materials from Xinjiang because of the human rights abuses in Xinjiang, China. H&M said, “We express our deep regret for reporting allegations of forced labor and religious discrimination by Xinjiang ethnic minorities. We will not cooperate with any clothing manufacturers in Xinjiang in the future, nor will our products and raw materials (cotton) be supplied from this region.” Earlier, in September last year, H&M ended a partnership with Huafu Fashion, a Chinese cotton yarn company that was suspicious of forcibly mobilizing minority ethnic groups in Xinjiang.

Accordingly, Chinese netizens started boycotting H&M. H&M products have also disappeared from online shopping malls in China. Even if you enter H&M in Taobao, Alibaba, and Tian Mao, related products are not searched. On and offline, a paparazzi who photographed the situation of H&M stores also appeared. In addition to these brands, New Balance, Zara, Under Armor, Gap, and Fila are one after another publicly declaring that they will not receive products from the region related to forced labor in Xinjiang, and the spread of boycott of global brands in China is expected to increase further.
