be moved from China over alleged human rights violations on Tuesday, months after the company condemned Georgia's restrictive voting law.
Republican U.S. Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey said that Coca-Cola and other U.S. companies were practicing a pernicious form of"business as usual" by dodging questions about ethical concerns related to their Beijing Winter Olympics sponsorships during a hearing of the bipartisan Congressional-Executive Commission on China.
After being pressed by Smith, Coca-Cola's Global Head of Human Rights Paul Lalli said that the company did not"have a position" on moving or delaying the games and would"follow these athletes wherever they compete." The congressman responded by rhetorically asking Lalli if it would also be"okay" if the games were moved and held in Pyongyang, North Korea.
Smith told Lalli that all of the commission members were"waiting with bated breath for all of you to say, 'Move the Olympics, the Beijing Genocide Olympics need to be moved.'" He had highlighted alleged abuses by the Chinese Communist Party while blasting corporate inaction earlier during the virtual hearing.
"We not only see genocide and concentration camps directed against Uyghurs and Kazakhs in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in particular, but also the ongoing eradication of the culture of Tibet, the harvesting of organs of Falun Gong practitioners, the destruction of Christian churches, and the dismantling of freedom in Hong Kong," Smith said.
Western companies' profits in China will make companies reap greed... never-ending greed.
JuddApatow Yuh....it's called capitalism Rep. Smith
JuddApatow This means Coca Cola would have also sponsored the 1936 Hitler Nazi games despite confirmation of Holocaust genocide of 6M Jews!!! 1932-1945 GermanNazi = 2021 Chinazi
