Affecting how businesses choose to conduct themselves so that they may continue to access the Chinese market? Sure! Impacting the sovereignty of other countries

Affecting how businesses choose to conduct themselves so that they may continue to access the Chinese market? Sure! Impacting the sovereignty of other countries? What a ridiculous statement.. Companies have always catered to the major markets. That's how California fuel standards have become the US benchmark, or why Texas school boards in effect control national teaching materials and school books in the US. Companies also have a history of being used as political tools, willingly or not. The only reason we're suddenly seeing outrage is because the one wielding these tools is China, not the US. That's not to say I support any of the shit China's pulling.. But Australia, Austria or whomever still retain their sovereignty and freedom to set whatever rules they want within their borders. Companies can comply if they wish to do business there.
