Internet censorship and the requirement of self-censorship not only harm the economy inside China, but also are negatively affecting China in aspects of international commercial trade, even as globalization becomes the trend of today’s world. Chinese Internet censorship is applied to both directions; not only blocks Chinese Internet users’ access to certain foreign websites, but also prevents foreigners from knowing the truth about China through refusal of releasing reliable information.

Huawei also pitched the fact that any Cisco-trained engineer could operate the Quidway router with ease. Cisco’s rise to the leadership in networking equipment and technology was the result of many years of diligent, hard work and creativity. Cisco holds several patents, copyrights, and trade secrets that are critical to its success. Huawei, on the other hand, chose to make shortcuts and had complete disregard for the sanctity and legality of intellectual property. In fact, Huawei’s Vice President confessed that “all the world’s leading equipment suppliers are our learning modules.”[1] Can Huawei’s belief in “learning” from their competitors and Cisco’s belief that Huawei stole and copied intellectual property be attributed to a differing ethical perspective due to culture? We will discuss this in Section 3.

The China mobile company is a Chinese multinational corporation. The two different companies offer an effective platform for comparing the CSR understanding and initiatives of different organizations from the developed world and from developing countries. What makes the examples even more effective is the fact that the two companies are different stages of development in the global business environment. This makes it

Political & Legal environment: The political system of a country is an important part of a companies marco-environment. ‘Who governs the country?’ ‘What does the government follow?’ and ‘What legal regulations follow from these policies?’. The most important factors a company is subject to are policy uncertainty, macro instability, and tax rates. Considering China is a country in transition all of the above factors are subject to change, to a degree substantially larger than it is in stable developed countries. We have recently seen changes happening in China on all of the above factors. One example is the new regulations regarding copying, which turned out in favor of Starbucks. However, what will happen in the (near) future is hard to tell. Whatever happens though, Starbucks will be subject to the consequences, whether positive or negative.

Apple is being criticized in China for three main issues, including slave labor, guarantee scandal and underdeveloped infrastructure. However, China is a significant market for Apple.
