Total idiots at one time Taiwan belonged to Japan. During ww2 we should have let japan destroy China .
Hahahaha. Why do these clowns bow to the commies. Screw them. If Taiwan was part of Chyna Taiwan would say so. They don’t because they aren’t. Screw Chyna!
Bye Bye Mars no more Snickers
They respect China’s sovereignty but not Taiwan’s?
WTF…!!! All bow to the mighty majestic CCP… Damn, this is so fucking pathetic…
Cowards , putting profit above all
So Snickers supports China’s human rights abuses? I’m tired of these sniveling, cowardly companies that bow to the communists in China.
F*cking cowards.
Boycott Mars/wrigley bunch of communists!
Already planning to, let them take their snickers to China
I know this will sound bad but…all these politicians (clear throat..Biden),hollywierds, athletes and businesses are sucking the d**k of China. I for one am fed up and disgusted! I’d say more but I’ll keep it PG. Sorry not sorry.
Good bye, Snickers and Co. I will not be buying products from a company that apologies to China about anything !! Turncoats !
Why in Gods name is Mars apologizing to a communist country. They want to destroy us. Also, doesn’t our own government recognize Taiwan as a sovereign country. So F off mars/wrigley. Are you proud to be a woke communist backing company .
