“The past few years, reports of human-rights abuses in Xinjiang + HK have spread around the world, have demonstrated that China is hardly receptive to international pressure. Hopes that more dialogue could lead China towards greater liberalisation have been all but extinguished.”

China market access in a nutshell 
“The costs of annoying China are significantly higher than the costs of annoying people outside of China.”
“None of the major sponsors for 2022 have said that they are reviewing their contracts.”
