Haha even the Japanese advertise Xinjiang...
quAd!
How would it fall into oblivion when Xinjiang cotton is still being banned? Either they change their stance or expect prolonged boycott.H&M will choose to keep quiet.
1. They do not want to continue provoking China and be boycotted by consumers. They are waiting for the event to fall into oblivion, after which Chinese consumers continue to buy their products
2. They will receive a victim card. The Western media and people will support them, see them as heroes who dare to speak the truth and be persecuted by the Chinese government and people. Their sales in the West will increase rapidly
I believe Nike and HM and other companies need to be legally sanctioned by China. They may have the right to source raw material from anywhere they want but in this case these companies are explicitly mentioning they don't employ Uighurs anywhere in the supply chain. This is textbook discrimination and racial profiling which no country would tolerate.H&M will choose to keep quiet.

Very much this. Kim is a lot smarter than some people give him credit for and you call tell he wants a closer relationship with China from all the stuff he's signalling. Notice how in last year's parade his boys abandoned the Soviet style march and instead switched to PLA style march so they don't seem as bouncy? That's not a coincidence. As soon as the unrest in Hong Kong started in 2019 North Korea came out with a scathing piece in their state media with the tone of "just give the word uncle and I'll crush them all under my steel tread". China had to calm him down.
Word (from 观棋有语) is this year he wants to start a Deng style economic reform as well as put in a rule that his successor no longer has to be from the Kim family.
Don't forget how he personally attended the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Korean War.
