Two Chinese Businessmen to be Expelled from the Philippines for Branding Manila as a Province of China
Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno", said on social media that he would expel two Chinese businessmen from the country. Their cosmetic products showed an address of "Manila Province, P.R. China". Besides, the city government found that the company did not get permission from the Food and Drug Administration of the Philippines and ordered the company to close down.
Levi Facundo, Director of Bureau of Permits and Licensing Office, who led the operation against the company, said that the department had received many complaints about the product's labels, which are from Binondo, Manila's Chinatown, after tracing. Facundo said these products were misrepresentation and considered as a basis to shut down the business automatically. "There is no Binondo in China. Binondo is in Manila. This is a serious insult, and we do not allow this" said Facundo.

#ASICS Japan and #HugoBoss Denounce Pro-China Statement Purportedly Posted by their China Branch on #Weibo
Since March 25, 2021, Chinese state media and netizens have been attacking multiple international apparel brands for previously vowing to not use #XinjiangCotton, due to human rights concerns.
The discontented Chinese netizens have initiated a series of boycotts, forcing public figures from celebrities to sport teams to cut ties with the brands which have voiced concern over forced labour issues and human rights breaches committed by the PRC in Xinjiang.
Whereas Hugo Boss's Weibo account claimed that "Xinjiang cotton was one of the best cotton in the world"; its head office clarified that the statement was unauthorised, alluding to a misappropriation committed by the China's branch.
Meanwhile, a similar incident happened to ASICS, a Japanese sports shoe brand.
Like Hugo Boss, the Weibo account of ASICS posted a pro-China message that read "our brand firmly opposes all actions of discrediting or spreading rumour of China"; however, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the headquarters of ASICS at Kobe in Japan denounced the statement.
According to ASICS Japan, the statement on the Chinese social media platform Weibo was published without the head office's permission and does not reflect to the company's official stance.
ASICS reiterates that their supply for the Australian Olympics team does not contain any Xinjiang cotton and was not manufactured in Xinjiang.
The pro-China statement has been removed from Weibo on the morning of March 29, 2021. Meanwhile, Chinese actor Li Yifeng suspend his contract with the brand after ASICS clarifies their stance.
