Recently, controversies related to products made in China have regarded the treatment of the Uyghur ethnic minority in the Xinjiang region, which has included use of forced labor. Xinjiang cotton disputes in 2021. It is learned from China Grain Reserve Management Group that as the world's largest cotton consumer and second largest cotton producer, China will produce about 5.95 million tons of cotton in 2020/2021, with a total demand of about 7.8 million tons and an annual gap of about 1.85 million tons. The data published by the  Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations also show that China's seed cotton (cotton with no seeds removed) has been in the forefront of the world in recent years, ranking first in the world in 2018 and 2019. Although the output is large, it is still in short supply. In order to meet domestic demand, China still needs to import about 2 million tons of cotton every year on average. China has actively expanded import channels and strengthened cooperation with important cotton producing countries such as Brazil and India to ensure the stability of the domestic cotton supply  chain. According to China Agricultural Net, the sown area of cotton in Xinjiang will reach 24.196 million mu in 2020, of which the planting area of mechanical harvesting mode will reach 16.8963 million mu, and the planting area of mechanical harvesting will account for 69.83% of the total cotton sown area. In 2020, a total of 3,383 cotton pickers (2626 local) were put into use in various parts of Xinjiang, of which 1233 were involved in cross-regional operations (mainly the Corps and Beijiang cotton pickers).

Among them, Xinjiang is the main producing area of cotton in China. Data from the National Bureau of Statistics and the Xinjiang Uygur  Autonomous Region Statistics Bureau show that in 1949, Xinjiang's cotton production accounted for only 1% of the country's total.
