Australian Olympians yesterday became embroiled in the global row over Chinese forced-labour cotton as the country revealed its uniforms for the upcoming Tokyo Games.

Human rights groups, independent media and foreign governments have found evidence that the local authorities have carried out mass detention, forced labour, political indoctrination, torture and forced sterilisation.

The United States has described the situation as "genocide" and has banned all cotton from Xinjiang, while Australia's parliament is considering a similar move.
