BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): The boycott of cotton sourced from Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region is set to disrupt normal global supply cooperation, which will severely harm the global industrial and supply chain, especially as the world economy has not yet recovered from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, industry experts said on Friday (March 26).

They said global supply chain curbs on Xinjiang cotton are interfering with the normal operation of the global industrial and trading market, and will harm not only the global textile industrial system but also the interests of global consumers.
