China has more to lose than the US. If China does break international laws, South America’s market, along with the Middle East would become the next big trading partner for NATO countries. Middle Eastern companies can compete with China’s tech industry and South American is an under tapped market with expanding infrastructure. Just trying to point out that companies can still make more money and leave China behind.
I agree that they CAN, and I'm arguing that they probably WON'T. Not for Hong Kong. Not for Taiwan.
I get what you are saying. I just find it hard to believe if they can make more money elsewhere.
Oh they definitely can. but it would take a coordinated effort, money, and time,....all of which doesn't make business sense for many governments and corporations. I wish it were different. And I wish businesses and consumers made better choices. But often times, we all make choices that are best for our wallets, and not necessarily for our conscience.I get what you are saying. I just find it hard to believe if they can make more money elsewhere.
I've personally decided that not buying those ridiculous made in China, 50th Anniversary Starbucks tumblers for $50 is MY way of protesting against China's oppression! Take that PRC!Maybe a disboards petition would help.
If Disney sold more made in USA products, their sales and stock would rise. And best of all, no shipping issues. What would Walt Disney say?I've personally decided that not buying those ridiculous made in China, 50th Anniversary Starbucks tumblers for $50 is MY way of protesting against China's oppression!

I respectfully disagree. If Disney products were made in the USA, those tumblers would cost $150, not $50, and no one would buy them. And their sales and stock would plummet IMO. Walt Disney would say "You idiots!"If Disney sold more made in USA products, their sales and stock would rise. And best of all, no shipping issues. What would Walt Disney say?
Walt Disney would not have sold out to Starbucks and McDonalds in the first place.
Ok, I'll stop this banter at the speculation of what Walt would or wouldn't do. He's dead and wouldn't do anything.
Right. He was too busy selling out to Eastern Airlines and US Steel.
yes! don't fall for it like me! It's a pointless and endless debate!
The first couple of pages aren’t.
This. And as much as it pains me to say it, the World Cup in Qatar should be as well. But unless protests catch the media’s attention, no business will pull their funding and governments don’t want to anger their country’s athletic governing bodies.
