IBM is the biggest US IT vendor in China, and has been forever. They have almost as many employees in China alone as Microsoft does in the entire world. Where's the outrage there?

Read the end of post 48. Or, here:

Not only does IBM have engineers and consultants in over 170 countries, it has existed overseas since the beginning of the 20th century (predating Communism)...

So, because it's been around there for nearly 100 years, of course it's going to be one of the biggest US companies there.

Hey I cut the same slack to IBM and MS, youre the one with the glaring double standard.. Rank condemnation of IBM on one hand and justifying MS by slapping IBM on the other..

Not true. There was a long period during the Cold War where IBM had no presence in China at all.

I received my training in employee management from the IBM executive who opened their first modern office in Beijing the 1970s. He would never kowtow to the Chicoms the way Bill Gates does.
