Talk about cancel culture.
China cancels for real if folks don't act right. And that got businesses shaking in their boots.

Dior is groveling because they left Taiwan off a map of China.
Other companies facing the same issues. Forced to bend the knee to make it right again.

Add Christian Dior to the growing list of Western brands tangling with China.

The French fashion house issued an apology Thursday over a map of China used during a presentation that didn't include Taiwan. The small island is a self-ruled democracy that Beijing insists be treated as part of its "one China" initiative.
The message posted on Dior's verified Weibo account said it was an employee's fault, and that it supports China's "sovereignty and territorial integrity." It also wrote that it will investigate the incident, which happened Wednesday at a university in China.

Dior is the latest Western company to make concessions in order to do business in China's coveted consumer market, particularly on the issue of Taiwan. Three US-based airlines caved to Chinese demands to change drop-down menus and maps to read "Taiwan, China" rather than simply "Taiwan."
Gap (GPS) last year apologized for a T-shirt with a map of China that did not include Taiwan. Zara also came under fire over similar issues on its website in China and apologized.
