Doing the right thing morally and doing the right thing for business are not mutually exclusive. Actually, this case is a good example. Please see these comments [0]. But essentially, Intel is in a medium and long term losing position in CCP China regardless of whether it glosses over slave concentration camps. It seems to have chosen to value CCP China supply chains. It will face a capricious CCP that will disrupt those supply chains sooner or later. It will face the creation of a CCP China national chip champion with a monopoly on local sales. This will be bad for business. It is of course still bad to play semantic public relations games with slave concentration camps. Had it maintained a moral position against Xinjiang slave concentration camps, it would have been pushed to look for alternative supply chains. This in turn would have put Intel in a better position to whether storms created by CCP when using trade policies as foreign policy instruments. Good business and some basic moral decency go together. It is so sad for humanity to believe otherwise.
