Nike and H and M R among major clothing retailers facing a backlash in China after expressing concern about allegations that we readers are being used as forced labor in the production of cotton, the retailers who made the statements last year have found themselves at the center of a growing row after sanctions were imposed on Chinese officials by the U.

It's estimated that nearly a million mostly Muslim leaders are detained in camps in the northwest region of Xinjiang.

BBC investigations have gathered firsthand testimony of forced labor and allegations that detainees have been raped and tortured.

China denies the claims and says the camps are vocational training schools.

Our world affairs editor, John Simpson, reports the story is about the wigger camps have spread around the world after reports of forced labor in the cotton fields of Xinjiang province.

International companies like H and M and Nike have all reacted strongly, and that's brought an angry backlash from China, which says the accusations about the wiggles are lies mhm.

Today in the Turkish capital, Ankara, the Chinese foreign minister, Wang he has come to talk to President Erdogan.

Turkey has strong ethnic and cultural links to the wingers, and it's always given them refuge.

A weaker woman, Norris Man Abu Rashid, who went to Turkey to study recently, found that her entire family back in Xinjiang had been arrested.

When I asked them why and they sat, my family members think they might have an intention to attend terrorist activists 12 years ago when China clampdown on rioting Among the wigger is the Turkish leader.

China is pressurizing Turkey to ratify an extradition treaty, which would mean handing over anyway, angers China.

Once returned, China is just far too powerful economically and too many trade deals all came with terms and conditions so effectively China's bought off turkey just like all the other countries.

Many Arab countries and the Muslim countries like Pakistan, and they're not speaking.

Speaking up, I told Turkey's economy has suffered badly from Covid, which has brought a collapse in tourism, its biggest foreign currency earner.

And since the West isn't doing much to help, Mr Erdogan has turned to China, which offers Turkey everything from covid vaccines to weapons.

The Turkish Embassy hasn't replied to our questions about this.

The fact is, Turkey's really up against it.

It's got it's serious economic problems and it's moving away from its old friends in the west.

China is only too happy to step in, But part of the price for that would be to keep quiet about the weed.

Yeah, offer me a good education to have a good life.

There's no shortage of stories like this, but Turkey doesn't seem to complain about them publicly anymore.
