claims the mask with its filters, protect against almost all viral and bacterial agents, especially nano and micro particles. it costs $340.00. it would be, it's a fantastic tool to fight against the covered crisis, because with this mask, you won't need to do a 4th vaccination if the, if the 6, depending on all the variance of the virus and all the new viruses that will arrive in the future. will be a trade fare in the middle of the macro wave health professionals was that c s could become a super spreader event. the organizers have taken extra measures to prevent this. putting on a lot of stuff to avoid long lines at reception. visit is must be vaccinated. in addition, everyone is tested. the pathways are wider, the activities are further apart. yet despite these measures, many big names are missing. b, m, w, microsoft, t mobile and many others aren't here or have reduced their presence. there are 2200
10:19 pm
exhibitors, about half as many as the last c s which is open to the public video. but those who are here have made a conscious choice, like rim coffee and bring from the netherlands, who transforms glass facades, into video streams. video. i think there's thought a startup. it takes a lot of guts anyway. i had a great job. busy i quit the job. busy i started so there's a lot of uncertainties and this is on the ground. one of the hey, maybe it's an opportunity. so. busy you didn't stop, it will never stop optimism that the industry in the 2nd year of the corona virus crisis can really use or let's go now to d, w correspondence, stuff on simon's who's live in las vegas. stuff on good to see there. why is this show going on when you look at the kind of case numbers that the u. s. is seeing right now? yeah,
10:20 pm
good question. let me 1st tell you where am this is the mandalay bay hotel and resort convention center. and we are in one of their press conference halls. and what you see here behind me is intel, people actually packing up, they had a press conference here, which was not in person, not life, they had taped something. they played it out. that was the press conference played something live from somewhere from the seo in to this occasion. and that's it. and now they're leaving intel. i be an intel, microsoft, google, amazon. those companies who are not showing up here who opted not for in person presence. and why is that? you mention it because the danger off catching armor crone here is? yeah. big as big as a super spreader event, this could be a super spread event. that's why you mentioned that also. we have those tests here . you see everybody who's coming here does not only have to be vaccinated, of course japs, but he also get the test there. 2 tests in there and you have to supposed to self
10:21 pm
test every day and make sure you're not a covered positive. and that is definitely a challenge here because with mask or without and even with mask, the dangers are pretty high to catch something here. okay, stuff on. so some of the bigger guys like intel and ibm can afford to pull out what about a lot of the smaller businesses that are there that really need to be there and shake hands and make these deals. they have no choice but to be there. is that fair to say? well yeah, it's fair to say that's exactly what the president of the technology association here, the consumer technology association who is organizing this event, the c as actually said that it would have been totally unfair to those in majority, smaller businesses who are really hoping all year and working all year to have a strong presidency and a strong showed to present their new products or their products in the pipeline because that is bringing them business business they meet and want you right. the big ones have that doesn't really matter if they're here really in,
10:22 pm
in massive presence or not. but for the little ones, it seems to be very important. this is exactly why this is happening here. so if on briefly, what can we expect from the expo this year? no, the rosalind dazzle, right. what's new? i, i think it's all about e v. e. v is the key word here, electric illegals, driverless driving iron t internet of things. and of course, an indication for this is that mary barrow g m c o will hold the keynote speech to more to officially open and welcome all the people, the tech geeks here to the c s 2022. so that will be all this and of course new chips, new computing power for r, u t, and driverless driving even driving, etc. all right, stuff on simon's in las vegas where the c s is gearing up. thank you very much. and we go now to some of the other global business stories making headlines.
10:23 pm
japanese car maker, toyota sold more vehicles in the u. s. last year than general motors, marking the 1st time g m did not lead sales and it's home market since $900.00. 31 . toyota sell 2300000 vehicles. that's around 100000 more than g m and 10 percent more than the previous year. opec in its allies of agree to stick to a plant increase in oil output of $400000.00 barrels per day in february, sources from the groups that it expects. the omicron run of ours variance to have only a short term impact on demands where humans were human rights groups have called for tesla to change course. after the company opened a new dealership in the sheen young region of china. there were ports out of that province have revealed, forced labor mass detention and internment camps and for sterilization against muslim minority wiggers and china rejects any abuses. washington however, has labeled the campaign genocide and it's recently passed
10:24 pm
a new law prohibiting in ports from the region. a china is increasingly flexing its economic muscle to silence critics of its campaign in the region. shemaker intel had to apologize after backlash over letter to suppliers, urging them not to source their products or labor from sheen john retail giant nike and h m. they also faced blow back last year, following their own statements about force labor in cotton production. and china is tesla 2nd biggest market after the u. s. and mosque has worked to foster a close relationship. earlier i spoke with allison steward allen, she c e o of the consulting firm, international marketing partners. i asked about mosques, decision to open, and she and john and how risky was, here's what she said. it is risky. and so this is a person that is famous for taking big risks. the question is, is he flaring the law? ah, now technically no, because he could argue that he's not importing ah, components that will make their way back to the united states,
10:25 pm
which would then violate u. s. law. what he is doing, however, is retailing in china or so he will claim and therefore there's nothing wrong with retailing in the zip. jang profits. however, there is a problem if you using the components. the question really for corporate leaders is about trust and does what he's doing by opening his 200 and 11th show room in china. in this particular province, does this compromise people's trust in the tesla brand. at the same time, even the slightest connection to sheen young right now for many companies is considered toxic, at least on the western side of the equation. is, is this significant for tesla customers? do we know yet? we don't really know yet. we do know that our customers around the world are increasingly aware of the implications of labor in that
10:26 pm
region of china. that it is it, in many cases, weaker nationals or of from the weaker community who are being used often allegedly with no wages in slave like conditions. and i think consumers around the world are much more attuned to what companies get up to social media, not least has been very helpful in lifting the lid on a corporate behavior. so i think there will certainly be concerns that tesla is perhaps a company that is defying american legislation, even though perhaps technically it isn't. but it might be perceived that way. and we know that in the marketing world, perceptions are everything. you know, you might have the facts, but you also have what people perceive and believe. and that's the piece that tesla needs to pay attention to. allison, briefly, if you can, what kind of line are companies walking essentially between the u. s. and china
10:27 pm
right now, trying to satisfy both sides on this issue. i think for corporate leaders, the big challenge is staying true to their values and staying true to their investors. now, they're not mutually exclusive. they don't need to ever be mutually exclusive. but in many cases, i think companies need to make a decision about whether operating in this particular province of china, knowing the issues that are there around weaker labor and whether you can satisfy your investor community. and whether you can also satisfy your stakeholders, such as your staff, who are expecting you to be ethical. and to be true to what you say is important. and i think company leaders are facing this challenge, not just in the china a weaker situation, but around the world across the board. we're right. alison stuart, our ceo of international marketing partners. thank you very much. thank you.
