Clothing chain H&M expressed commitment to doing business in China, emphasizing that it is a “very important market” in the wake of nationalistic backlash from mainland Chinese consumers over the brand’s old comments about Xinjiang cotton production. “We are dedicated to regaining the trust and confidence of our customers, colleagues, and business partners in China,” the company wrote in on its website Wednesday. “By working together with stakeholders and partners, we believe we can take steps in our joint efforts to develop the fashion industry, as well as serve our customers and act in a respectful way,” it added. H&M’s statement comes about a week after comments from last year—in which the brand expressed concern over claims of forced labor in Xinjiang—resurfaced on social media platforms used in mainland China. Since then, netizens have threatened to boycott the retail chain, accusing it of “smearing China” and “spreading rumors.” Stores in some Chinese cities have even been shut by their landlords, Bloomberg reported, although it is unclear how long the closures will last. The statement, laden with middle-of-the-road PR speak, does not mention Xinjiang cotton or whether the company is procuring raw materials from the far-western Chinese region. In a post on its official Weibo page last Wednesday, H&M said it does not represent any political stance.

Other brands, including Nike, Adidas and Burberry, are also members of the initiative. They have faced similar backlash on Chinese social media. H&M has 505 stores across China. It opened its first outlet in the country in 2007 with a store in Shanghai.2 points

A dispute broke out after a middle-aged woman allegedly threw sand at a female diner's face last Wednesday afternoon (March 31). The incident occurred at Ya Kun Kaya Toast's outlet at Raffles City shopping mall. A video posted online shows a young woman, who is clad in black, shouting at an older woman, who is wearing a green shirt, behind the eatery's counter. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=166254222009514 The young woman can be heard hurling vulgarities and telling the other woman to "come out!" She is also heard yelling, "You dare to pour thing on me you don't dare to come out ah!" An employee wearing the Ya Kun uniform is seen trying to defuse the situation and speaking to the young woman's male companion. This led many netizens to mistakenly believe that the young woman had been verbally abusing Ya Kun's staff. However, a second video that subsequently surfaced online suggests that the older woman in green, who is not a staff member, had been the aggressor instead. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=442096490221731 The older woman is seen coming out from behind the counter and trying to leave the scene, despite attempts by a security officer and Ya Kun staff to stop her. She can also be heard saying repeatedly, "You don't have the right to detain me, you know." A netizen, who identified himself as the young woman's male companion in the videos, said that they had been dining at Ya Kun when the older woman suddenly walked over to them. She reportedly threw sand at the younger woman's face and Ya Kun staff subsequently called the police. In response to a Stomp query, the police said they were alerted to a dispute at 252 North Bridge Road at 2.34pm. A 53-year-old woman was apprehended under Section 7 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act.1 point

Chinese tech giants are expanding in Singapore as they face a crackdown at home and growing pressure in other key markets — but they may struggle to find talent in the city-state. Messaging-and-gaming behemoth Tencent is opening a hub and TikTok owner ByteDance is on a hiring spree after establishing a regional HQ, while e-commerce giant Alibaba is investing in property and recruiting. The tech firms are shifting their focus to booming Southeast Asian markets as authorities tighten the screws at home amid concerns about the platforms' growing power. Regulators have launched a blitz on the sector, hitting several firms with heavy fines, and threatening to slice up massive companies whose reach now extends deep into the daily lives of ordinary Chinese. Meanwhile, festering tensions between Washington and Beijing after an assault on Chinese tech titans during Donald Trump's presidency make the United States an unattractive prospect, and problems abound elsewhere. "Chinese tech companies are facing regulatory pressures and sanctions from governments in other countries, notably the US but also other nations such as India," Rajiv Biswas, Asia Pacific chief economist at IHS Markit, told AFP. India has banned a swathe of Chinese apps since a border clash last year, while the European Union and other Western powers recently imposed sanctions over China's treatment of the Muslim Uyghur minority, prompting retaliatory sanctions. But Singapore, a prosperous financial hub, maintains good ties with Beijing and the West, and tech firms have come to view it as a safe bet to expand their operations without upsetting either side. In the current climate of geopolitical uncertainty "Singapore is considered as a more neutral country", Chen Guoli, professor of strategy at the Singapore campus of business school INSEAD, told AFP. - Hiring spree - In addition, long-running turmoil in traditional rival Hong Kong may have dimmed its appeal, although observers stress other factors are likely more important. The influx of Chinese cash will be welcome in Singapore, whose economy has been hammered by the coronavirus and which is seeking to build itself up as a tech centre. It is already home to major offices of US tech titans Facebook, Google and Twitter, while ByteDance recently moved into bigger offices in the financial district, and has launched a hiring drive. Between September and February, a third of ByteDance's job postings were in Singapore, more than twice the ads it placed in China, with a focus on hiring specialised engineers, said Ajay Thalluri, an analyst with data and analytics firm GlobalData. Meanwhile, Alibaba last year bought a 50 percent stake in an office tower, where its e-commerce unit Lazada is the main tenant, while its affiliate, fintech giant Ant Group, won a licence to operate a wholesale digital bank in the city-state. Alibaba "is building teams in Singapore with significant key senior and mid-level job postings related to talent acquisition, product management, and legal compliance", said Thalluri. The e-commerce firm, co-founded by Jack Ma, has come under fierce pressure in China, with authorities pulling the plug on Ant's record initial public offering in November. - Talent crunch - ByteDance and Tencent, which announced its Singapore expansion plans in September, say they are primarily focused on growing their businesses in Southeast Asia, a booming region of 650 million, rather than avoiding tensions elsewhere. By building up their Singapore presence, the tech giants are hedging their bets in case frictions with the West hit a new nadir, analysts say. Chen of INSEAD said Chinese companies needed a "plan B" in case they had to separate their global and Chinese operations, in which case Singapore could become their international hub. However, a major challenge in expanding in the city, with a population of just 5.7 million, is recruiting workers with the correct skills. "Technology is developing and accelerating at a speed that far surpasses the supply of talent needed to scale," said Daljit Sall, senior director for information technology at the Singapore office of global recruitment firm Randstad. Singapore is trying to attract overseas talent, although that may cause unease in a country where there are already concerns about the large foreign population, while schools are offering courses to prepare youngsters for tech jobs. Nevertheless, "there still remains an urgent need to fill these skills gaps now", Sall said.1 point

SEOUL, April 5, 2021 — LG Electronics Inc. (LG) announced that it is closing its mobile business unit. The decision was approved by its board of directors earlier today. LG’s strategic decision to exit the incredibly competitive mobile phone sector will enable the company to focus resources in growth areas such as electric vehicle components, connected devices, smart homes, robotics, artificial intelligence and business-to-business solutions, as well as platforms and services. Current LG phone inventory will continue to be available for sale. LG will provide service support and software updates for customers of existing mobile products for a period of time which will vary by region. LG will work collaboratively with suppliers and business partners throughout the closure of the mobile phone business. Details related to employment will be determined at the local level. Moving forward, LG will continue to leverage its mobile expertise and develop mobility-related technologies such as 6G to help further strengthen competitiveness in other business areas. Core technologies developed during the two decades of LG’s mobile business operations will also be retained and applied to existing and future products. The wind down of the mobile phone business is expected to be completed by July 31 although inventory of some existing models may still be available after that. http://www.lgnewsroom.com/2021/04/lg-to-close-mobile-phone-business-worldwide/1 point
