Being seen as a bloody dictatorship makes doing business much harder

Everyone already knows about Tibet, the Uighurs and so on. Everyone. And yet they still do business there unashamedly.

Hong Kong is different because people in the West relate to Hong Kong people more. They see them as being close; thus attacking them is similar to an attack on the "west" people.

They’ll still be companies who skirt public opinion, but I can imagine many would be affected. The other impact could be government sanctions against China. Companies wouldn’t have much of an option then.
