Netflix is a bad example, but Amazon and Disney do a lot of business with China. Amazon has e-commerce and web services offerings in china. Also they, like Apple, manufacture a LOT of shit there. Disney is simpler. They want to sell their media in China.
I’m sure most Disney merchandise is also made in China.
I wonder if this was a Youtube channel he owned... Would google capitulate? Though I can't imagine it would be worth it for Jon to be on Youtube.
YouTube is blocked in China and most other oppressive regimes. You can definitely find lots of china criticism there.
Google has been trying to get a foothold in China for a couple of decades. The government there don't want Google, and Google has previously jumped through hoops to make apps and services just for that market to try to placate them. It wasn't successful before but they keep trying. I don't think Google would think twice about axing a YouTube channel if they were aware the content was anti-CCP and has a big enough audience.
