Bookmarked. For the time when Dutch politicians start lecturing other countries in EU about "solidarity" again.
The most interesting part of the article for me is not that Uber dodged $6bln of taxes, but in which countries it decided not to dodge. USA and China. USA, probably because that's where this money goes, but China?
- pembrook 5y agoDoing anything the Chinese government doesn’t like is not advised, given it will soon be the most valuable consumer market in the world, and Uber has a multi-billion dollar stake in Didi Chuxing. You can play games with the European and American systems since their rules are slow to change and predictable. You cannot play games with China. They will kill your business and access to their market on a whim, and will send your Chinese employees and their families to labor camps (I’m not exaggerating, this has happened a lot). Hence why Apple is forced to look like a massive hypocrite whenever they talk about privacy, because they have no such protections for their users in China.
