Source for the Uyghur exploitation? I googled it and found some articles that seem to think Jinjiang City and the Xinjiang Province were the same place.
I found this https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell-anta-sports-to-stop-making-money-from-uyghur-slave-labor, so I assumed it's true. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Yeah i saw this website too, the first giveaway that it was
shit was using the blue jumpsuit photo, stating the headquarters were in "Xingjiang" when it's actually in Jinjiang, and misspelling of Xinjiang.
You should always be looking at these websites with a critical eye. There's not a single citation, multiple errors. If, on the rare occasion that it is sourced, follow the sources and see where the claims are coming from.
In my defense, I was at work and did a quick search of the brand. ๐
I saw someone commented with some extra info on Uyghurs, China and other side of the story, so I will check it out.
