That's underselling it, honestly.

They banned import/forced local production which ended in the trained workers then quitting and creating the competitor.

That pattern played out with every large company that tried to get into the Chinese market

The only surprising part about it is how these MBAs kept doing it across industries

Except Tesla's where their cars outsold any other
