Govts usually will require local management as a means of 'promoting local business leafers' - I'm sure there's a local in the management structure making these calls. This person is not going to have a good day, I mean it's pretty much fuck your own countrymen for the sake of the corporate higher ups in a different country.
Also, fuck corporate dispersal of reaponsibility. At all levels, it's always 'the decision was made by head office/ higher ups/ 'the board', I'm just the executor', not the sole decision maker. The board of management needs to be made responsible for these shortcomings in accountability, as high up as is prosecutable by the law of the land. Make these turncoats think twice about selling out their country for a handful of shekels/ renmenbi.
Yeah. About time they were held accountable for due diligence on their supply chain. 'i didn't know' wouldn't fly as a defence for an individual, why should it for a corporation? Convenient deniability of accountability.
