Foreign firms held to account

As an increasing number of foreign enterprises are operating in China, there has been growing public scrutiny on those that fail to respect the country's territorial integrity.

Especially after the White House referred to the nation's efforts to get foreign companies to stop referring to Taiwan and other regions as separate countries as "Orwellian nonsense".

So it was not surprising that people were outraged when a photo was posted on social media showing a T-shirt produced by a US clothing giant bearing a map supposedly of China, which omitted Taiwan and other territories.
