A netizen broke the news on the social networking website on the 14th that Amazon platform is selling a red 'Hong Kong Independence' T-shirt (see the picture). It is impressively printed with 'free Hong Kong Democracy Now' and 'Hong Kong Independence' in traditional Chinese. Then the matter continued to ferment. Soon, other netizens broke the news that a large number of "Hong Kong Independence" T-shirts appeared on Amazon's sales platform, not only in red, black, blue and other colors, but also printed with a variety of Anti China theories such as "anti delivery", "Hong Kong has not been extradited", "Hong Kong is not a special administrative region of China".

On the 14th, a reporter from the global times also found many "Hong Kong Independence" T-shirts on Amazon's official website, some of which were printed with a mosaic pattern of the "Bauhinia flag" representing the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the "Star Spangled Banner" representing the United States; Others write 'Hong Kong is not China' in English.

A Beijing consumer surnamed Jia told the global times on the 14th that he was shocked by the sale of 'Hong Kong Independence' T-shirts on Amazon. " Amazon is the world's largest e-commerce platform and even makes such low-level mistakes. As a world-renowned large company, does it not know the fact that Hong Kong is part of China? Does it not know that Hong Kong returned to the embrace of the motherland as early as 1997? "

The consumer also said frankly that Amazon's move seriously provokes the basic principle of "one country, two systems" and will greatly reduce the company's reputation and image in the hearts of the Chinese people. " It doesn't respect your country. Do you expect it to respect this market and consumers? "

recently, foreign big name enterprises have been suspected of splitting China. In an interview with the global times on the 14th, Professor Zhang Yiwu of Peking University said that this situation can not be "generalized" and can be viewed from two aspects: on the one hand, strict management is needed. As a Chinese, the attitude of resolutely opposing splitting China must not be relaxed; On the other hand, the western media have been misleading for many years, resulting in some foreigners' unclear fact that Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are an integral part of China. This situation does exist.

So, how to deal with the misconduct of some foreign enterprises? Are there appropriate control measures? Zhang Yiwu said that first of all, we must have the consciousness of persistence, resolutely criticize any act of splitting China, and constantly publicize and correct it; Secondly, we should also be prepared for the outside world to have a complex understanding and cognition of the problem.

In response to some netizens' concern that Amazon recently announced its withdrawal from the Chinese market, we do not rule out the existence of & lsquo; Broken cans & rsquo; 'if this is true, we can't help it,' said Zhang Yiwu. However, enterprises must pay attention to principles in doing business. Although it may not cause any impact in the short term, from a long-term perspective, this will hurt the feelings of the Chinese people and is bound to be detrimental to their future development. "
