Yet another company kowtowing to China for not recognising it's vast territorial claims. This time Gap has been made to grovel for selling T-shirts that showed an "incorrect map".
So much for the sovereignty of nations such as Taiwan, Tibet, those islands in the South China Sea....... and honest trading.

Don't limit the friends you haven't met with arguments you'll never have.

I've seen representations of the UK without the Shetland Islands included. It's an outline of a country on a piece of clothing, not a geography textbook. And they never include other territories over which we have sovereignty, like the Falklands.

Indeed, just China flexing it's commercial muscle I know but it does disappoint when even large companies like Gap scratch this fat cats tummy.
Ah well, their needs and profits must I guess.

Kow Towing ? ? ? Huh ? thought this thread was going to be about a new "agricultural sport" to be taken up at "County/Country Fairs" around the country...
See how many kows your quad bike can pull over a "drag strip" in the fastest time...

Careful there @shutter, the PC brigade is lurking.
Might get accused of making unfair fun of our third largest trading 'partner'.
