Tony is my American colleague, a famous heat treatment expert in the industry, a happy 60 year old man, Tony has been working in China for 3 years, he has studied Chinese in the US before, and in the past few years living in China, his Chinese level has improved by leaps and bounds, basically he can communicate without any obstacles.
On May 2, we arrived at the famous Nanjing Road in Shanghai to start our tour, and to be honest, I was worried about the crowds because I had never been on a public holiday. Although, before coming to Nanjing Road has been mentally prepared, but to the scene was still shocked, too many people!
Tony is also the first time to experience such a great situation, very excited, can not stop taking pictures.
We walked and talked at the same time, we were very happy. Suddenly, Tony stopped in his tracks and stared unblinkingly in one direction, I also followed his line of sight and looked over, it was the biggest Nike store on Nanjing Road in Shanghai – Shanghai 001.
I didn’t pay much attention to it, thinking Tony hadn’t seen a Nike store of this size before! Tony’s expression is a bit special, he turned around and looked at me, and then looked at the Nike store, said meaningfully: Chinese people have started to buy Nike products? They are not boycotting Xinjiang cotton?

The Chinese are not uniting to boycott Adidas, Nike and other brands? Have the Chinese already approved of Nike’s actions? Start to support them?
Tony went on to say: the U.S. government predicted that the Chinese people will not be able to boycott for long, it will become indifferent, and began to choose and use the boycott of Xinjiang cotton products of foreign manufacturers, because the Chinese people can not stand the temptation, the love of vanity, like to be cheap. Love of vanity, like to greedy cheap, patriotic is the stage, just saying. He also showed me some information he had collected in the past about Nike’s advertising slogan on a shopping platform in China.
Nike advertising slogan: Let the trash talk! On the basis of ability, let the crap out!
Tony also showed me the Nike online price reduction promotion not too long ago, where 340,000 Chinese actually participated in the lottery, and this video screenshot was even advertised by Nike in no big way.
Looking at these irrefutable facts, I had nothing to say and felt ashamed. At this point, Tony noticed again the Adidas store a block away from the Nike store, a brand that is also one of the staunch boycotters of Xinjiang cotton, yet already crowded and doing a brisk business.
Tony looked at me, smiled and said nothing, but I already wanted to find a hole in the ground. tony said: the U.S. government thought the Chinese boycott would disappear around June, and now it seems to have ended in May.
