This sort of thing definitely has deterred investment in China. I was aware of it (in a very different industry) twenty years ago and it definitely affected decision making. It's impossible to track investments not made though.

To be honest it has now become politically toxic for a western company to announce a large investment in China.

  It's financially toxic for them not to invest in the Chinese market. Name a major American brand, and odds are you've named either someone who manufactures in China, sells to China, or more commonly, does both. When it comes to optics or money, boards and investors will choose money.

    I think the parent was referring to making investments into Chinese businesses, not just manufacturing their products or selling there.

      Also they can still do it, they just don't have to announce it so widely.

  Disney's "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" would like to have a word with you. Think they made a Chinese lore film for Americans?

    You know that's based on a comic from like half a century ago, right?
