china the same machine can do the same scenes which made in china can do like much better work in much cheaper i mean you're see. that's my god. 8 years ago jane who and until they are shots came up with the idea of attracting chinese companies to sedate little hops didn't vires buff their campaign highlights its central position in europe the countryside the low costs right now they're busy planning another 14 office buildings on the site nowadays we already have around hundreds units in a future he had the vision we want to help 500002000 now it's a vision i wouldn't describe it as megalomania perhaps it contrasts with the region that could well be marked with a line. on the region has changed since the newcomers arrived. now

one in 4 people living here is chinese. and they're popular with the locals. i passed them and greet them politely and they greet me back hello it's an international greeting and it always works. in that they're all relatively financially well off. so they're not bringing any economic problems in with them instead they benefit us economically and. will warm invested 250000 euros in coming to germany even buying this cafe he says the chinese prefer accumulating property rather than paying rent soon he wants to buy his own apartment here because it's also a lot cheaper here than back home. now with antigovernment protests raging in hong kong china has become especially sensitive about its sovereignty is forced to fashion brands like versace coach. to apologize for

the t. shirt designs that appear to show hong kong macau and taiwan as separate territories i wasn't faced similar pressure when it was found to be selling shirts that support hong kong's protestors. chinese supermodel knew when terminated her contract with coach and actress young me ended her endorsement deal with facades just stating the model ends territorial integrity and sovereignty is sacred the country a controversy involves 2 cities that are semi autonomous semi autonomous status that's hong kong and macau but china also claims taiwan a democratic island that beijing calls a breakaway province let's talk about this a bit more with our resident china watch a cliff it couldn't the welcome to the studio doing this those examples that we just talked about they are not the only ones what other companies have been in trouble with china but it's been a bit like a fashion parade in

a way it's like you're you've got versace you've got coach you've got dolce and gabbana who famously crash down in flames after making some very drugged remarks on instagram about chinese people and also running a picture of a chinese woman using spaghetti with chopsticks and it was a complete disaster they were forced to retract and. but it's really been just a host of different names you've had airlines having to change their approach we've had korean supermarket chains amazon as you mentioned so all kinds of different companies have been forced to change their approach or to apologize for things that have happened online through how does beijing apply pressure his it just market access and the companies are actually giving in that the companies are definitely giving in what happens is usually that appears on state media and they'll make some negative comments and it's sort of jumped on by this army of web warriors who

consumer warriors basically who feel that china's sovereignty is being threatened and they write these very patriotic trolls really trolls basically but there's millions of them and it's a big patriotic movement or nationalistic movement and then the company's very quickly backed down and the apology was amazing donatella versace has come out with a very very fulsome apology the companies are very quick because they realize that the chinese market is growing so strongly target the entire luxury market in the world is now in china and they need it everyone needs the china market and they're pretty much prepared to apologize for anything even if there's nothing happened i mean in one case there was a u.b.s. economist wrote a line in which he was talking about chinese pigs for some reason this was interpreted as being drug free u.b.s. put him on there was a big outcry u.b.s. put him on leave and apologized so it's really it's affecting all kinds of areas of activity. very much in the online world i should think with with people come going

on twitter and all that but these companies these days they should have a sort of a notion of what's going to happen if they really don't watch what they what they're doing is there anything to gain from these controversial ads. i don't think so i think i think a lot of it is the fact is oversight they've got these companies that are based in europe or in the states and there they go subsidies. that are coming up with these designs and they just don't see the back of the t. shirt they really need to pay more attention i mean it was a $425.00 t. shirt from versace. for t. shirt for ticky and they've they've destroyed their entire stock of them but they're i think it's an oversight thing rather than one thing malicious because the market is too important for them for them to risk it i think at this point because they could be boycotted too is one example was a lot of the korean retail chain they were involved in they gave some of their lines of the korean government sites and u.s. missiles and the chinese government effectively orchestrations

a boycott and lot it had a vested $6000000000.00 in china and they had to just withdraw all their business is gone so the risks are very very high so your accommodation for anything any textile business is only plain teaches in china that's right. cliff akin to thank you very much for this insight. u.s. officials have warned the u.k. its decision to release an iranian oil tanker could threaten relations between the 2 countries white house and threaten sanctions against ports banks or anyone else who does business with a grace one of the ship's gold or its crew a u.s. argues the ship also coal decision to free the tanker rewards what it calls iranians heroism it also says the u.k. should consider its position with ominous of us johnson pushing for post-race that trade deal with the americans. by
