faced similar pressure when it was found to be selling shirts that support hong kong's protesters. chinese super model year when terminated her contract with coach and actress young me ended her endorsement deal with for such a stating the model and started tauriel integrity and sovereignty is sacred to 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 was a cliff it couldn't the welcome to the studio those examples that we just talked about they're 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 to saatchi you've got coach you've got dolce and gabbana who famously crash down in flames after making some very drug 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 we'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 has it just market access and ah companies are actually giving in that the companies are definitely giving in what happens is usually that appears in state media and then makes a negative comment 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 ready trolls basically but there's millions of them it's

a big patriotic movement or nationalistic movement and then the companies very quickly back down and adults think about apology was amazing don't tell of us saatchi 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 acting all kinds of areas of activity. very much in the online world i should 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 subsidiary. 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 teachers particularly on they've they've destroyed their entire stock of them but they're i think it's an oversight thing rather than one thing the issues because the market is too important for them for them to risk it i think at this point because they could be boycotted through as one example was lot of the korean retail chain they were involved in they gave some of their land to the korean government to cite some 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 recommendation for anything you
