China's graft agency warns Walmart and Sam's Club over alleged removal of Xinjiang products

BEIJING, Dec 31 (Reuters) - China's graft enforcement agency has warned Walmart Inc (WMT.N) and its membership chain Sam's Club over its alleged removal of Xinjiang products on Friday.

"Walmart must respect China's standpoint and the Chinese people's feelings if they want to 'stand firm' in the Chinese market," the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in a commentary published on its website.

What are they going to do? Shut off one of the largest outlets of China Inc. to the outside world? Pyrrhic victory at best.

The CCP has orchestrated a backlash among Chinese consumers through their fifty-cent army of paid internet trolls.

The Global Times, a CCP controlled media outlet...notice no mention here of the Wumao army creating the backlash.
