pepsi losing money? well..maybe we better ask how coke is doing in china or number of new plants builts each year...each game has BOTH winner and losers and yes...WHINERS....america boycotting china at best only temporary setback....people FORGOT there are other markets out there like the new united europe.....the problem with americans is..they think all the action is only on their precious little selves.....if one wants to help/solves china's ills.....positive actions migt be better....no use or need for being hostile with a sleeping giant...only ask for trouble...by the way...if i were a multinational doing WELL in china...WOULD I WANT the world or rivals/competitors (new/potential/existing)to KNOW ABOUTIT? best gauge is if things are TRULY that bad is when we see companies PULLING OUT from china....pepsi is only half hearted effort in china because they divided the pie between themselves...india for pepsi,coke for china......look at john and johnson stock performance if any of you armchair geniuses EVER STEP in china...you will see why companies like jnj is being oh so quiet...they dont EVEN need to spent much on advertising.....
