This position from the brand has generated intense discussion from Chinese netizens, leading to a boycott campaign in the Chinese market. This chapter will explain the origin and the development of this controversial situation. It will also show how Chinese consumers reacted to this incident and their different perceptions of the situation. In addition, this chapter will emphasize the importance of social justice and patriotic interest within the Chinese market.
