Why would you not want to sell things to people? I mean isn't Toshiba a Japanese company? I understand why the Chinese are like that, but Toshiba?

Because they're not buying them. This is nothing more than statistical observation and some asshole is reporting it technically accurate but failure to fully describe the subject in hand. Thus portraying it as some kind of personal shit chosen by the opposite relevancy instead of the fact that they just don't sell shit to people who don't buy shit.

If you had any difficulty reading what I wrote then you should have a good picture of exactly what the fuck I'm talking about.
