Hennessy-Arbeiter streiken wegen Plänen zur Abfüllung von Cognac in China

Submission Statement:

Normally I provide a brief summary/transcript of the article; but this is something that I find deeply disturbing, as it’s not just outsourcing the industry, but also the safety and quality control standards.

Based on my time in China, and what I know; I’d be concerned about counterfeit liquor with cadmium and other “additives” in it.

Personally, I don’t drink Hennessy but I do find this disturbing and it clearly shows that companies will do whatever it takes to turn a profit over geopolitical issues. Furthermore, what happens when they make dupes of the thing and push out their national brand over Hennessy?
