Surprised we didn't have something covering this yet so... here comes another thread of hot take reactions to craven Corporations and how they grovel before Social Media mobs, SJW's and engage in vapid Woke Marketing.
Not only did Nike (and Coca-Cola and Apple etc) lobby against bills in Congress meant to crack down on the importation of goods created by Xinjiang Slave Labor... but now they're doubling down on being CCP shills and advocates as revealed in an Investors Conference Call.
CCP knows how to put their... I'm sorry... our corporations in their place apparently.
Nike says it is "of China and for China" in case you were wondering about their company ideals
It's one thing to give a mediocre quarterback like Colin Kaepernick millions of dollars to stroke his own ego as he preaches about how evil America is from his mansion.

Not only did Nike (and Coca-Cola and Apple etc) lobby against bills in Congress meant to crack down on the importation of goods created by Xinjiang Slave Labor... but now they're doubling down on being CCP shills and advocates as revealed in an Investors Conference Call.
Breitbart said:“We are concerned about reports of forced labor in, and connected to, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR),” the company said in a statement. “Nike does not source products from the XUAR, and we have confirmed with our contract suppliers that they are not using textiles or spun yarn from the region.”
Despite its proclamation that it has worked to make sure its products are not made with slave labor, Nike also lobbied against a bill in Congress that would place a ban on goods produced by the slave labor in camps in China’s Xinjiang region.
Right after the company’s March statement, Chinese state media outlets, the nation’s Foreign Ministry, and Communist Party-controlled social media launched a multi-faceted campaign against Nike. For instance, social media posts showing Chinese citizens burning their Nike gear flooded the country’s government-controlled social media sites.
In another case, Chinese state media operative Hu Xijin of the Global Times, warned Nike and others, saying, “all multinational enterprises should stay away from geopolitics.”
Nike CEO John Donahoe rushed to reassure China’s communist rulers that his sportswear company is all about working with them, saying that, “Nike is a brand that is of China and for China.”
