Nike Pulls Houston Rockets Merchandise from Chinese Stores

Nike has withdrawn Houston Rockets sneakers and other merchandise from stores in major Chinese cities after the basketball team’s general manager tweeted in support of Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters.

Managers of Nike stores in Beijing, Shanghai, and other cities received a memo from the company instructing them to remove the merchandise, according to Reuters.

....
A manager at a Shanghai store said “Rockets products were hot before and when you stepped into the store, it was full of red.” Now the store is filled with the colors of the Golden State Warriors, blue and yellow.

The Chinese will just make a knock off of the Rockets stuff and it will be back for sale in a matter of days.

They're obviously not American capitalists.

Kind of ironic that the most famous Chinese NBA star of all time played his entire career for the Rockets.

1. Long long ago a New Balance advantage, was they were made in the US.

2. A fellow was doing a podcast a couple of days ago, about all of the products in his environment, made in China.

3. Scott Adams is claiming that no company in their right mids would go into China, now that we can see Hong Kong,  Fentanyl, Uigher China treatment, etc.

He refers to it as "de-coupling" from China.

Well, I can't threaten to stop buying Nike, since I haven't in over a year and a half. Looking at what I currently have in use:

Altra - the "Made in ______" label is too smudged

Brooks - made in Vietnam

Hoka One One - made in Vietnam

Mizuno - made in Vietnam

Each choice was a combination of fit, cushioning, and price, not brand or country of origin. Except I won't buy Nike.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I can't recall the last time I brought Nike shoes.  No big lost for me.

Orthofeet.com is my favorite. They don't look as "cool" as other brands, but they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

Crony capitalists are the same people that sold the materials that Japan invaded Pearl Harbor with.

They are now firmly ensconced in Silicon Valley.
