If you're against companies that support China, you're gonna have a problem with the vast majority of companies in America.
Why is that, Teddy? Companies only react to what government policies force them to do to stay in business. It is very easy for everyone to hate businesses but it is the government that controls import and export laws, rules, etc.

The post was about the complete Hypocrisy of companies that go out of their way to use their donations, speech & platforms to visibly back woke social justice narratives in America....but then turn around & hypocritally blindly support just the exact OPPOSITE in China, and meekly don't say a word about the atrocities there.

Personally, don't care where corporations do business, but I strongly believe all corporations should be politically neutral. Their current Hypocrisy is not a good look.

Government policies force companies to do business with/in China?

Those import/export laws you're complaining about. Does that include the tariffs imposed on China that you support? How about the sanctions imposed for Hong Kong or the Uyghur people?

Our Fed Gov sets import laws. When other countries are allowed to export goods to the US at very low to no duties while restricting imports from the US to protect their businesses that impacts our companies. Our companies then have no choice but to take their plants off shore to get the savings of low labor so they can compete and hopefully survive. This has been a cycle since the end of WW2. Tarrifs placed on China were the first step in leveling the playing field for our companies. Those are long term steps. They don’t work in a year or two. It takes time. Now, due to the pandemic we are seeing the other major issue that we are no longer self sufficient to supply ourselves and as a result are vulnerable to dictatorships like China. It’s not complicated. Government policies are the factor that ultimately drive sourcing decisions by companies.
