Adidas is a German company. Also, how many products are made in US these days. I kinda like Milwaukee, Snap-on tools but thats made in China too. Its also not so much about made in China. Chinese factories will gladly make you anti-CCP banners, T Shirt and Merch given the right price. Its about losing China market as one of the largest buying power. (Taiwan having Pineapple, Bananas and now Grouper fish nightmare).

I meant from Boris's merch store the tracksuits there are manufactured in the US.

But yeah, China is probably the fastest growing market in the world. Any investor not allowed to enter this market will be quite pissed at their legislators.

Again? How many times has Huawei left Russia? I kind of lost count.

Massive anti-Yoon protest still ongoing in South Korea - hope they will not have another stampede! According to DaiWW, Yoon is against pretty much everyone, and is not well regarded by foreign dignities, a sad reflection of South Korea's current international status.

After the azov battalion in HK shenanigans and now open support for secessionists, remind me why China isn't directly supporting Russia?

For the Chinese were selling goods on both sides as they had done in the Iran-Iraq war. Even though a good Ukrainian brother is now worth only 50RMB and a good Russian brother is worth about 10KRMB, I mean 50RMB is still money and can be earned considering the economic situation.

It’s official now (well we already knew they were). US boots are on the ground but pinky promise they aren’t on the frontlines.

Anyway, if the US actually decides to directly fight a war with Russia then everyone should expect the US to attack China over Taiwan.

There were US troops in Ukraine before the invasion.

Ehh? If China weren't important, Adidas wouldn't be sending its CEO to Beijing next week. And Olaf Scholz wouldn't have picked Adidas' CEO and would have picked another more important German company CEO instead to go with him to Beijing.

The fact that Adidas CEO is high up on the list of the visiting delegation means there's economic collaboration to be milked between Adidas and China, and the Germans see it. I personally think there's a lot of potential collaboration in sportswear industry.

Wilson and Salomon are big but not superstar brands, unless you play tennis or hike a lot.

If China is so important why is adidas moving production to India and Vietnam?

I cannot tell if you trolling or just being merely sarcastic.

Same old FUD campaign (fear uncertainty doubt) the Americans have been running against Huawei 5G, and against China for that matter, for how many years now?

Agent Scholtz this week being sent to Beijing to do his part.

I read a market report from a few months ago where Anta is just behind Adidas in China. Nike is up ahead in number one place. Under Armour I'm not sure where, but doing quite well. Personally I prefer like the strategy with EVs where they team up with European brands under JVs and acquisitions. But that is just my opinion. I just worry that Chinese athleisure is still not seen as sexy enough. Anta and Li-Ning are doing fine, but 361, Peak Sports, Erke are not doing comparatively well. 361, Peak and Erke are becoming an under-class which to me is a concern. I think all three of these brands signed up NBA stars but it doesn't translate that well in sales. I think their marketing should include extreme sports stars to amp up their sex appeal.

These Chinese sportswear brands, they just want to sign up NBA stars. I think if they sign up racing car drivers such as Zhou Guanyu (F1), or some wakeboarding star or mountain climbing star is an alternate strategy.

Just my two cents.

Japanese brands like Asics is not popular at all.
American sports brands like Nike should be suppressed, due to their country's hostility in areas like military and technology, towards China in general.
361, Peak and Erke should sign up with Gu Aileen, if they want to look more sexy.
