An executive for corporate titan Nike has now been caught swearing overt allegiance to China’s brutal Communist Regime, saying that Nike is ‘by China and for China.’

As Townhall reports:

That’s not a misquote, nor is it taken out of context. Nike’s CEO (not Colin Kaepernick, despite his apparent veto power over product lines deemed to be too “offensively” American) made that statement on an earnings call last week as he downplayed a recent row in which his company suffered a public relations hit in China for not celebrating draconian forced labor practices in Xinjiang. Domestic competitors made human rights abuses a matter of national pride, stirring something of a consumer backlash against the American sportswear giant – which has bent over backward on multiple occasions to appease Beijing’s sensibilities. They yanked Houston Rockets gear off of Nike store shelves, in solidarity with the regime, after a former Rockets executive tweeted in favor of democracy in Hong Kong, and they lobbied Congress against legislation cracking down on the aforementioned coerced labor regime. But Nike couldn’t quite bring itself to cheer on neo-slavery, a “betrayal” that provided an opening for their “patriotic” Chinese rivals to gain a competitive advantage.

The ruling Chinese Communist Party has actively lied about and covered-up crucial information related to the nature and origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has killed millions around the world, including more than 600,000 Americans. They’ve bullied and threatened anyone who’s dared to ask questions, while shamelessly accusing the US military of starting the virus. The CCP is currently engaged in ethnic cleansing against minority Muslim populations in the west of the country, perpetrating what the US State Department has labeled a genocide. And the CCP machinery is systematically choking the life out of Hong Kong’s democracy, in violation of an international treaty. Yet China is avoiding global pariah status due to its economic influence. Western companies – including some, like Nike, who position themselves domestically as woke warriors for social justice – want access to the lucrative Chinese market, and are willing to compromise or jettison their alleged “values” accordingly…

Should corporate giants who openly ally themselves with America’s enemies be able to continue to serve their foreign masters without consequence? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

  1. Tell Nike to pack up and move to live with the ccp. All assets of the execs should be forfeited. Boycott all Nike products and demand athletic teams do the same. The only way they will feel pain is through an empty wallet.

  2. Just as these corporations found there are consequences for ignoring the “woke” movement, they need to realize there are more severe consequences for ignoring the majority who are dead set against these “woke” movements. Corporations have no morals, only shareholders, who demand the absolute best returns on their investments. Corporations will only get the message when their bottom line falls out from under them. Only then, will they decide to listen to the silent majority.

  3. This is what happens when you rely on another country to make your product, that’s communistic! You either support the Communist’s or loose your manufacturing and sales. It’s all about the “Benjamin’s”! I no longer buy Nike’s products or policies!
