In late March, Western companies such as Adidas were targeted online in China for previous comments that they would not source cotton from Xinjiang due to reports of human rights violations against Uyghur Muslims. Beijing denies any wrongdoing. Adidas stated in May that demand in China had first dropped sharply, but that sales had subsequently rebounded slowly but steadily. On Thursday, it made no mention of the tensions, instead referring to the "geo-political situation."
