Congratulations, this is your reward for kowtow. Standwithmoney

Terrible....

Considering how the Chinese are so triggered by maps, I can foresee that companies will no longer put any map on their stuff unless absolutely necessary.

Stop kowtowing to the CCP for the sake of business. In modern day, you can easily seenzone their complaints（given how many they make each day）. Dior, you can do better!

£££ morals. Who'd have thought.

Who’s next? OhSorryCCP

BBCWorld Censor China!

Again and again and again. They r willing to do anything in order to earn communist money!

Telling truth vs money Dior chose the latter.

CCP is just using its money and power to force every company listen to her. antitotalitarianism

I bet, they won't boycott Dior!! Without foreign brands, what could they buy!! Their local consumer brands are viewed as harmful, toxic, low quality and valueless. Still remembering the absolute chaos created on Shanghai Costco grand opening day🤦‍♀️

How money smells like with blood?

Booooo money before people

Eventually. Communism will spread around the world and the universal values will be demolished.

Dior should learn lesson from NBA Blizzard

Ahhhhh my wrong bet! I thought nike would be it.. Poor dior

First and only rule to do business in China: do what they told you to. Apologise and kneel down when necessary. Money always comes before your dignity. StandwithHK FightForFreedomStandWithHongKong followbackhongkong antichinazi antitotalitarianism

leolo98 Very soon, the whole world would be mapped as China. Oops maybe it is already chinazi

Today is Hong Kong. Tomorrow is the world.

Not every companies would choose freedom instead of money.

BBCWorld I wonder do foreign brands dare to imposed the same behavior to other countries, eg the US, Canada? There are active separatist movements in North America. Separatism includes autonomism and secessionism

The next is Dior shame antichinazi

BBCWorld What about Muslim Dior no apology from China!Unfortunately!

bowing down to money

Dior: RMB is more valuable than freedom antichinazi

I am afraid they won’t stop purchasing Dior.😏

antichinazi

It is how China to rule the world. Say No before it is too late!

BBCWorld Start grovelling

Instead of 'apologize' could you use 'bend over'?

They value money more then freedom of speech and expression. Cowards.

standwithmoney RMB taste good, you can give up your freedom and pride for it , welldone.

OhSorryCCP

BBCWorld It's an error, they should apologize to china. It's reasonable.

Bowing down to dictatorships for money. Disgraceful.

Aside from the whitewashing culture appropriating seasonal fashion show and greenwashing. And now kowtowing to a totalitarian dictatorship and disregarding a whole region of people. Just wondering how low can Dior get just to sell their subpar design. hautelemess Freedom

Pathetic

BBCWorld 'Christian Dior becomes latest foreign brand to disregard Taiwan's independance out of fear of retaliation from China' - here I've corrected your headline :)

BBCWorld CCP is insane. 中共疯了。

Taiwan is an independent nation, a free and democratic society with it's own laws, judiciary, military and foreign relations (with any who will talk to them). It is not part of China. Call it like it is!

BBCWorld As long as ppl kowtow to China nothing will ever get better. China should be called out and sanctioned when they don’t conform with international laws and policies. You can’t have globalization and China wanting free trade but abusing the system when it’s beneficial to themselves

BBCWorld Chinese market is so sweet

BBCWorld 😳🤦‍♂️Dior

BBCWorld Christian Dior becomes latest foreign brand to kiss China's ass for........

BBCWorld Weak

shame

BBCWorld Guess who's next? antitotalitarianism

Imagine these tyrannical Chinese in charge of our secured telecommunications systems..... scratch that, don't imagine, it's already happening thanks to Theresa May, inspite of Trump's warnings. Will they switch off our communications systems if we piss them off in future? 🤔

How long will Taiwan last after Hong Kong has been crushed?

BBCWorld

How about some quotation marks around 'misrepresenting' and 'error'? Or are you endorsing PRC's claim to Taiwan?

BBCWorld STOP 👏 GIVING 👏 INTO 👏 CHINA

BBCWorld Here let me paraphrase their apologies: “On behalf of Dior, we would like to issue an apology to the People’s Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party. We too, like the NBA, loves money more than democracy and freedom”

BBCWorld HOW

BBCWorld Sensitive bunch

Anything to keep China happy.

it's a good thing I'm far too smart with my money than to buy such vain decadence.

BBCWorld ... And US is most powerful country in world US companies and US citizens are falling over each other for getting a piece of action in China. Licking Chinese balls to be exact..

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

BBCWorld LeBron approves

The country with quite literal concentration camps whose sole purpose is apparently for human organs harvesting for a corrupt communist government, should never try to acclaim itself as a champion of human rights.
