Yes I'm well aware of the constantly reiterated technicality that Foxconn is a Taiwanese company.
They're a Chinese company. Period. If China believed differently, they wouldn't be allowed to do what they do in domestic China.
China is nationalistic first, concerned with money second. That has always been the case and will always be the case. There's no amount of money that can buy you a lot of segments in their country; there are countless monster companies locked out of China right now, who would willingly pay countless billions just to get proper access to their markets - China promotes their domestic giants first, always.
- batista 15y agoYes I'm well aware of the constantly reiterated technicality that Foxconn is a Taiwanese company. They're a Chinese company. Period. Sure, after being called on it, you are suddenly "well aware". Anyway, it's not a technicality by any stretch of the word --it's where the company was founded and where its headquarters are. A different country. Not to mention that they also have factories in 6-7 other countries besides China. (Plus, it's not like China and Taiwan are in best terms, anyway, such that a taiwanese company could suddenly, by some mysterious process, turn into a "de facto" chinese one. Taiwan and China are not like US and Kayman Islands). If China believed differently, they wouldn't be allowed to do what they do in domestic China. China is nationalistic first, concerned with money second. I don't see China being any more nationalistic than the US is. At least they aren't invading all other the place, nor do they play "world cop". As for China protecting it's national interests, more power to them.
