Just as I finally see Chinese culture gaining more global cultural relevance--- and it had to be in order to bypass a ban of an intrusive app.
Gotta rise up to that Firefly/Serenity lore.
the app wasn't banned, the company refused to split American operations off.
... And because they refused, is now banned.
So, yes it was.
no, they were given the option.
that's pretty cut a dry they chose to end operations in the US. The US didn't ban them.
☝️🤓 Well, actually...
so when other companies that refuse to adhere to labor laws in the US move their factories to other countries, are they banned?
#2 is a ban.
I'm really not sure why that's so hard to understand. If I said, "sell me your house or get out of town," how is that not me running you out of town?
