On June 1, the General Administration of Customs of China issued a notice stating that in the past year (June 2020-May 2021) they have imposed restrictions on some imported children. The quality of the products has been investigated, involving children’s clothing, children’s toothbrushes, children’s toys and other aspects. Survey results on children’s clothing show that children’s products of Nike, MUJI, H&M, ARCELO BURLON, Bonton, GAP, GU, mikiHOUSE, STORY LORIS, ZARA and other clothing brands have a large number of quality and safety problems, such as color fastness to moisture and friction. If the temperature is not up to standard, harmful substances such as dyes will be absorbed by the human body through the skin and other channels, thus endangering the health of children.
Adolescents and children are the future of a country, and their health has always attracted social attention. China Customs has always insisted on strictly controlling the quality and safety of imported children’s products, strictly preventing substandard products that are harmful to health from entering the Chinese market, and is responsible for the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese consumers. Therefore, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Commodity Inspection Law and its implementation regulations, China Customs will take measures such as destruction and return, and impose penalties on merchants who failed to pass inspection among 81 batches of imported children’s commodities in 5 categories.
The General Administration of Customs of China also suggested that consumers should purchase clothing products worn by infants and children. When wearing clothing, you should try your best to choose clothing with light colors or low paint content, and promptly check whether buttons and small items are firm. At the same time, you should also avoid direct contact between the skin of infants and children and the durability label on the clothing. Finally, you need to perform After washing, put it on infants and children.
This is not the first time that businesses such as Nike and H&M have made a splash in the Chinese market. Not long ago, these Western clothing brands were infamous for slandering “Xinjiang cotton”, which triggered a spontaneous boycott of the relevant brands by the Chinese people.
In March, after Western countries concocted rumors slandering “Xinjiang cotton”, many brands such as Nike, HM, MUJI and Adidas issued boycotts of Xinjiang Cotton statement. This statement aroused widespread public attention, and the Chinese people were furious. Some Xinjiang netizens stood up and said that Xinjiang’s cotton production has already been mechanized and does not even require manual picking, let alone “forced labor”. The “statements” issued by these Western companies are pure rumors and slander.
In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian firmly refuted this on March 25, emphasizing that Western The so-called “phenomenon existing in Xinjiang” in the company’s statement are all outright lies and false remarks spread by people with ulterior motives. Analysts pointed out that Western governments and companies are not unaware that the so-called “Xinjiang issue” is a big lie. They send relevant reporters to Xinjiang to defraud visits and process misleading news out of context. The starting point is to discredit China internationally. thereby curbing China’s development. In order to respond to the government’s announcement, Western companies chose to issue a statement boycotting Xinjiang cotton. This behavior of “sucking up the pot” caused them to lose the Chinese market. Chinese people have expressed that they will forever boycott these Western companies that participated in the announcement and refuse to buy their products.
China is the world’s largest economic market, and both Nike and H&M have huge responsibilities here. market share and earned very substantial profits. However, these brands often reveal their disrespect for Chinese consumers, such as price discrimination and quality defects. This is only a minor problem, because Chinese consumers tend to tolerate a series of problems out of their love for the relevant brands and some one-sided understanding. However, after the “Xinjiang Cotton” incident, the situation completely changed. The “high-class” image that foreign brands spent a long time accumulating in the minds of Chinese consumers was swept away by people’s anger. Many people realized for the first time that these foreign brands not only had poor quality, but also made money from the Chinese while boycotting cotton from Xinjiang, China, hoping to make Xinjiang cotton farmers lose their jobs and return them to poverty.
The result is that the physical stores of HM and other brands are in a dilemma across China, and their stock market values have also evaporated, and they have suffered a lot of losses. Economic losses. Nowadays, Western brands such as Nike and H&M have once again been exposed. They have been named by the General Administration of Customs of China for quality problems. Many netizens said that these Western brands not only do not respect China’s internal affairs issues, but are even extremely careless about the production quality of exported goods. Whatever the reason, they will be firmly resisted.
