You are talking about a country that expects most of their students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance daily.
Of course, you are right. But nationalism is way ingrained.
US multinational PR may be all about globalization and inclusiveness, but employees will always chant “USA”.
On the flip side, here is how SCMP introduced SpaceX:

- teknologist 8y agoBeing European, I assume most countries don't make their children pledge allegiance at all, because the idea seems absurd to most of us. A friend of mine was in a Chinese high school for a year. Every Monday morning the whole school had to line up by class in formation and watch the flag being raised with their fists raised in a sort of salute. Then they would have to recite this kind of pledge/chant thing before listening to the school's party secretary talk about communism for 15 minutes. I really don't get what effect it tries to achieve, or how it could ever manage to do anything other than make kids bored/misbehave.
