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.....

WHINERS!!!!! about dying us companies THE ONLY CONSTANT IS CHANGE!!! i dont think anyone here PREFER black and white zenith tv due to love of motherland.....it is said 17 companies of the original dow 30 has already ceased to exist....is that bad?! did/will america get worse? NOT ADAPTING to change is about one of the best DEATH WISH one can hope for... about WHINERS...lots of chinese brands like facial creme of more than decades old also died with china changing/adapting/evolving with the modern world...
those used by mothers/grandmas of decades pass the modern young chinese today refuse to use and PREFER american brands like something as BASIC as pond's facial coldcreme or sunsilk shampoo who dont need to spent much of advertising but more on new plants/warehousing/distribution facilities

literally hundreds of softdrinks brands died under the coke juggernauy..do we see them chinese companies WHININH about foreign devils? also look at eastman kodak stock...china probably is its last refuge for the soon to be obsolete camera film.....being idealistic is good....but being MISGUIDEDLY IGNORANT about it makes things worst especially for everyone concerned......america has been doing great with FREE TRADE all these decades..lets see how closing some doors will make things better or worst....by the way.....other countries/companies/industries would BE HAPPY to fill in ANY VOID left by america in PARTICIPATION of chinese bonanza....if you disagree...ask any us company RESTRICTED by state department from transfer of technology....germans and japanese are way to happy to fill the gap.....with this policy alone where are jobs gained or loss? oday...china has almost 200 million cellphone users....largets market in the world....if that doesnt define/demonstrate to anyone with out colorblind bias/objectivity...nothing will.....
