China is banned from exporting clothing with XJ cotton to the US & US-subjugated vassals, it must import even more from other countries.

I don't get this point. If china can't export cotton or cotton clothes why does it need to import more?

Also, I imagine that fast fashion is also contributing to this cotton shortage. It would be funny if this is what causes western governments to finally do something about fast fashion.

US/EU won’t import clothes made with Xinjiang cotton, and China makes clothes. In order to export clothes made of cotton to US/EU, they have to import cotton from abroad to make clothes without Xinjiang cotton.

So by banning XJ cotton, the US is forcing China to improve trade relations with third countries. Perfect.
