I don't think using caps helps your argument.

Just saying that something isn't working doesn't mean there is a better option, either. Do you think there would be a different outcome if everyone pulled out of China completely and they do everything on their own without any external influence?

The caps were to emphasize my point it wasn't meant to advance my argument

Yes I don't think that bowing to blatant censorship is a good option. He is enabling the suppression of free speech to make sure his stock doesn't drop. There are some cases where trading with China would be fine but selling products to wall off free speech is not one of them

That's explicitly against the site guidelines, so can you please not do it here? It's basically yelling.
