A Chinese industry association urged international companies to use cotton produced in Xinjiang after the head of Uniqlo’s parent said the fashion retailer doesn’t source fiber from the region.

The US has restricted trade on goods made in Xinjiang on concerns over forced labor, a claim disputed by China.
