Geopolitical Faux Pas Prompts Foreign Brands to Apologize to China Consumers

Versace, Coach, Asics and Givenchy are among the foreign brands that posted apologies on Chinese social media after consumers took issue with their

merchandise or store locators that listed Hong Kong separately from China. Calls for boycotts spread to major U.S. brands Tuesday, as Chinese consumers attacked Apple...

But they don't mind calling gopers racists

UK's opium wars final chapter being written.

This should happen every where - consumer power which will impact their margin - any and all will do the corrections - way to go consumer power.

That's a shame. letHongKongbeHongKong

Revenue before politics. Good business.

First, Hong Kong was returned to China in 1997 and has been Hong Kong China since; Second, you cannot expect the Chinese to blindly take whatever you want or say while making tons of money from them!

Sucking up to the authoritarian regime of China. All to make the bottom line. Just ignore everything else right? Including the millions in camps.

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss!

China is always clamoring about being respected yet they always behave in ways that do not warrant it. They want to be treated like a world power yet they never act as one. All this constant apology BS, sounds like a bad case of insecurity to me. Grow up already...

If you want to make Chinese money, you must accept the Chinese political philosophy Some people in the comments just want the Chinese to send them money

Things people do for money...

Foreign companies have been on their knees for years, cowardly abandoning citizens of Hong Kong and Taiwan to please the Chinese Communist Party. These companies are accomplice of a massacre-to-happen.

I am thinking that none of them listened to Prince Charles when he turned Hong Kong back to China. I never knew The Prince had such emotion for the region. You should read his speech and the follow-up from China.

Versace and Coach apologize to Chinese consumers after listing Hong Kong as a separate entity on T shirts.

Freedom without humanity is in jungle. Democracy without responsibility produce robbers. 道歉有用要警察干嘛？

Name the companies so we can boycott them

JChengWSJ Wonder how quickly Versace will apologize to the Belgians for spelling “Brusells” instead of “Brussels” (and the Germans against leaving out “••” from Düsseldorf) on the same T-shirt 🧐

Haha all about 💲💲💲💲

The power of buyers 💪🏻

Sure a lot of rich Chinese around the globe

Hongkong is part of China, period. Ignorant crowds here, especially the offsprings of the colonists should at least learn how to read news.

Wait, Hong Kong is not separate? When did this happen?!? Reminds me of China is here RPTriplett

Money talks, everyone listens.
