Breitbart: The municipal government of Beijing slapped the 7-Eleven convenience store chain with an ominous warning and roughly $23,500 in fines for violating Chinese Communist Party speech codes, including such “errors” as the “wrongful act of assigning Taiwan province as an independent country” and using Japanese names for disputed islands claimed by China.
The fines were assessed in December but not made public until a report by Nikkei Asia on Friday.
The roughly 260 7-Eleven stores in Beijing are run by a unit of Japanese retail company Seven & i Holdings. Beijing officials punished the company for referring to the “Senkaku Islands” by their Japanese name on its website. The islands are administered by Japan but claimed by China, which insists on calling them the “Diaoyu Islands.”
7-Eleven’s website allegedly also included “mistakes” in its representation of the borders for the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, home of the brutally oppressed Uyghur Muslims, and the Tibet Autonomous Region. According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the “mistakes” in the Tibetan borders involved territory disputed by China and India. more here
Why, 7-11, (and others) are you doing business with these immoral and sleazy motherfuckers is my question? No pride? No morals? Greed outweighs everything eh?
$90 per store?
Don’t do business in China. They will steal your profits anyway.
7-11 should close all it’s stores without notice and leave China. But they don’t have the stones.
@dman, All of the above.
dman, just how many 7-11 stores have you visited? And where?
Does this mean that Jackass Joe will have some snappy smart-ass 7-11 jokes for us?
