DHAKA, 07 July 2022, (TON): Chinese ambassador to Bangladesh Li Jiming has said “the US allegation of “forced labour in Xinjiang” was a lie and this lie, he warned, may hurt Bangladeshi readymade garment industry if people here are not cautious enough.”
The diplomat said ‘obviously, Washington uses this lie about Xinjiang to smear and defame China, with the ultimate goal of containing China. The reason why I have brought it up here today is that, if Bangladeshi people are not cautious enough, this lie may hurt Bangladeshi RMG industry as well.”
He said “it has come to my attention that a certain RMG industry association in Bangladesh recently alerted its members to the risks associated with cotton from China, due to the US allegation of forced labour in Xinjiang.”
The ambassador said “he had also noticed that the alert was issued following a meeting between the association and two representatives from “Indo-Pacific Opportunity Project” affiliated to some US Agency."
