All these China-loving corporations are fully on board with the destructive Democrats and their SJW agenda. Screw ‘em.

It's hard for me to believe that Coke can't find another source for sugar besides Chicom slave labor.

They don't use it in their sodas in the US.

And there are a lot of other places that grow sugar cane.

Lobbyists have fought to water down some of its provisions, arguing that while they strongly condemn forced labor and current atrocities in Xinjiang, the act’s ambitious requirements could wreak havoc on supply chains that are deeply embedded in China.

Nothing changes.

“Corporate America laid bare its extremist political instincts in the 1930’s and ‘40’s, and beyond. Its proto-fascism was early demonstrated in its support for Hitler long before he became Germany’s fuehrer. Corporate America idealized Nazism as a model for a ‘well-ordered society’”

Radio news coverage sounded familiar going back to when the same stuff was happening in New York .Where cops were being murdered as the aftermath of Obama using the Bully Pulpit creating racial division defending resisting arrests.

I bought a few glass bottles of Coke at Big Lots from Mexico, they had sugar and tasted like they did in the sixties. Yum! Woulda made a hella tasty Bacardi & Coke!

Stupid-ass spell check tried to change Coke to Come. TG for proofreading...

The only thing Coca Cola exports is dehydrated syrup base. Everything else is sourced locally.

Just like the media, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc, the plantation system never went out of business and we are all slaves thanks to our Dominon elected government. Time to fix the problem.

Then why are they worried?

Sure their products may be locally made but their components may not be.

From an overall corporate perspective, I am not sure why Coca-Cola would care about this, but I am guessing they are trying to protect their bottlers and distribution partners in China. Coke has a HUGE amount of market share in China so they would likely be against anything that might rock the boat.

I dumped Nike years ago for New Balance shoes. Made and assembled in America for the US men - wider and comfortable.
