Chinese TV blurs Nike, Adidas logos amid Xinjiang cotton battle: reports
Broadcasters in China have reportedly scrubbed Western clothing brands’ logos from their shows as the retailers caught flak for their concerns about forced labor in the Xinjiang region. Chinese TV networks are scrambling to blur out the logos of Nike, Adidas and other companies facing public backlash for their reluctance to use cotton from Xinjiang, where China has been accused of oppressing Uyghur Muslims, reports say. The censorship campaign has led to delays in some broadcasts as editors rushed to obscure logos that are frequently worn on popular reality shows, according to the BBC. Contestants on a recent episode of the singing competition show “Youth With You” were decked out in Adidas track pants, T-shirts and shell-toed sneakers — all of which had the brand’s iconic three-stripe logo blurred out, Insider reported. The production company behind the show said on March 25 that an episode would be delayed — and two days later viewers discovered that more than 50 people’s shirts had been blurred, the BBC says.
