Related event (perhaps even a direct example) from a few years ago: the Blitzchung incident.

While true, it’s pretty asinine to hold companies operating in China accountable for complying with Chinese law. It sucks, but they aren’t just going to abandon the Chinese ~cash cow~ market.

  It’s important that we build incentives for companies to avoid harming people, and hold them accountable when they do it anyway. Profit is not a valid excuse.
