![]() ![]() The Global Times found that the content in the Reuters report was highly similar to a statement circulating on the Internet, which can be traced back to the website of Japan Uyghur Association, an affiliate of the World Uyghur Congress, which has participated in many activities advocating "Xinjiang independence." So where did this statement come from? Reuters replied to Global Times on Friday that the team is looking into this and will reply as soon as they can. The Global Times checked the Muji website and did not find such a statement. However, Reuters soon added the word "no" to the paragraph, and corrected the sentence to "Ryohin Keikaku Co said in a statement it had conducted an audit of factories in the region that supply its goods, saying it found no significant issues." The report also said the company was working to ensure compliance with EU and US laws and regulations regarding human rights in Xinjiang. In a report on Thursday titled "Japan's Muji store operator says 'deeply concerned' about forced labour reports in China," Reuters cited a statement from Ryohin Keikaku Co, owner of the Muji brand goods store chain, saying it had conducted inspections on factories in the Xinjiang region that supply its goods and found significant issues. ![]() The Global Times found no official statement Thursday from the company in Japan, and that the Reuters report might have connections with the World Uyghur Congress which has been dedicated to smearing China's Xinjiang policies. Interestingly, Reuters soon corrected its report to say Muji's parent company found "no significant issues" of forced labor in Xinjiang. However, in an exclusive reply to the Global Times just ahead of the Reuters report, Muji China stated clearly that the company uses Xinjiang cotton. ![]() A Muji store in a shopping mall in Shanghai Photo: Xie Jun/GTReuters on Thursday said in a report that casual brand Muji's parent company in Japan was deeply concerned as it found "significant issues" of forced labor in its factories in China's Xinjiang. ![]()
