What always disgusts me about news and dealings with the CCP is the double standard. They can play ball in western markets with impunity, enjoying our egalitarian legal systems and protections, while we cannot do so in theirs. I'd love to see an equivalent anti-ccp stance taken across every field.
- AlexandrB 5y agoThis is true of every company headquartered in a country with an oppressive government. You can buy Emirates air line t-shirts all over the place, but the country is a monarchy with a poor human rights track record. For better or worse we've decided that we're ok with treating foreign companies basically equally to our own up until now.

Because it would mean Ericsson would lose a lot of tenders, they went from getting 12% of the 5G tenders to like 2%. Part of their tenders went to domestic companies and Nokia scored some 5G tenders. Same for a lot of other sectors and western companies on the background the Chinese market is by far their biggest market. I'm all for it that western companies lose their Asian market share means more internal consumption for Asian made products. https://www.asiafinancial.com/ericsson-vow-to-win-back-china-market-share-as-5g-row-rumbles-on https://www.asiafinancial.com/ericsson-vow-to-win-back-china...
