It's definitely a sign, but I'm not sympathetic because other airlines get a crack at the best gates.

What's happened to Versace happens once a year to a company. It happened to D&G at the end of last year.

It's not necessarily triggered by the government. Chinese are very patriotic, if not nationalistic, and the power of social media does the rest.

In this case Versace have only themselves to blame: T-shirts "Milan-Italy", "London-UK", etc. then "Hong Kong-Hong Kong" especially at this time, was incredibly stupid though probably not malicious.

I can relate.

I have seen people who are very critical of the government but at the same time circulate anti-West materials all the time.

Oh, it's even worse than that, they even have "Macau-Macao". Not only did they not know that Macau is a part of China, but they could not even spell "Macao" properly!

From this, I would not even say it's due to stupidity, but more incompetence. If you are in a business and not know about one of your biggest markets, then you are doing something very very wrong!
