Muji China says headquarters’ statement does not mean it agrees with ‘Xinjiang forced labour’ narrative

BEIJING (Global Times): After a suspected reply from the owner of the Muji brand goods store chain said they are "deeply concerned" about "forced labour" reports in China, Muji China told the Global Times exclusively that these comments do not constitute any agreement on specific content or opinion in the reports.

In an online statement, Ryohin Keikaku Co, owner of the Muji brand stores, said it was aware of the relevant reports of "forced labour" in Xinjiang, and expressed "deep concern" over it. It said the company had conducted an audit of Xinjiang factories that supply products and found no significant issues.
