LARRY ROMANOFF—At the end of 2011, Nike admitted to a scheme of false advertising in China. At the time, a new Nike sport shoe had become the newest ‘must-have’ item for the kids. A prime feature in Nike’s advertising was that the shoe had two air cushions, to provide shock absorption. The shoe, which I believe was made in China, was priced in the US at 700 RMB ($125), while the price in China was 1,300 RMB (over $200). Nike heavily advertised the product in China as being the original; however the company made a much cheaper substandard version of the shoe to be sold in China. Chinese consumers picked up on the fraud very quickly and reported the matter to the authorities, China’s SAIC eventually levying a fine of nearly $1 million and instructing Nike to refund the full purchase price to all customers. Interestingly, Nike repeated this exact same fraud some years later, apparently learning nothing the first time.

China did it! A quick blog post on the latest recycling of the Wuhan lab conspiracy theory
23 minutes readCHRIS KANTHAN—A lot of even smart people say that, “Since the virus was first found in Wuhan, the virus must have originated in Wuhan.” They usually go on to say, “If the virus had started elsewhere, other countries would have detected it.”
Really? Look around the world. Country after country remains clueless until the pandemic explodes in their face. For example, in the middle of April, India proudly announced that COVID-19 had been contained. Two weeks later, they were registering 300,000 cases! India was totally oblivious to the double/triple mutant that caused the colossal second wave.

KENNETH AMEDURI HOSTS JEFF J. BROWN ON “CRUSH THE STREET”, TO DISCUSS THE CHINESE WAY OF LIFE, BUSINESS AND GOVERNANCE.
12 minutes readJEFF J. BROWN—On Kenneth Amedori’s show, Jeff tries to explain to US audiences the way things really are in China under socialism with “Chinese characteristics”. The cultural gap is huge, chiefly due to the hostile propaganda disseminated throughout the West to basically defend US imperialism and the captalist way of life.
