IMHO, they have 2 Kings in the hole but USA and allies have at least a flush since 1945. Now it is a mess that their political system doesnt allow them to step back from.

I am not sure if the numbers still valid. World main producers. 1st is India, followed by China and then USA. Considering the amount, would it be possible harvesting and planting are manually done? If so, India no problem just china has? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the amount, would it be possible harvesting and planting are manually done? If so, India no problem just china has? Quote BEIJING - China's attempt to fight back against forced labour allegations surrounding the country's cotton industry continues to bear fruit with the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) apparently removing a key statement from its website. The BCI announced last October that it was withdrawing from the Xinjiang region - which supplies a fifth of the world's cotton - over concerns about the use of forced labour by incarcerated Uyghur Muslims. However, that article is no longer visible on the website with the BCI reportedly claiming that this was because its website had been the target of repeated "denial-of-service" attacks in recent days. https://www.ecotextile.com/2021032927590/materials-production-news/xinjiang-statement-missing-from-bci-website.html Get your facts correctly.
