China Probes PVH Over Boycott of Xinjiang Cotton

China has launched an investigation into PVH Corp., the parent company of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, for allegedly boycotting cotton from Xinjiang and other related products. The probe, initiated under China's Unreliable Entity List mechanism, requires PVH to submit a written response within 30 days. This move may lead to PVH being added to the list, which would ban the company from trading with China and restrict associated investments. PVH has stated it complies with laws in all regions where it operates and is in communication with Chinese authorities. The investigation highlights increasing tensions between China and the West, particularly over issues like human rights and trade practices. This development underscores China's message to Western firms about the consequences of aligning with Western human rights concerns.
