Apple Hides Taiwan Flag in Hong Kong

I wonder what would have happened if Microsoft just didn't listen to them. If they ban Windows over a petty reason like that, they're screwing over their own economy.

One simple approach would be to ban unmodified Windows sales and allow their companies to resell modified Windows distribution with changed resources.

It's something plenty of politicians everywhere have done over the years for things far more trivial than nationalism.

Microsoft employees in India would risk harsh punishments, including prison time.

I think they meant if Microsoft didn't change the map and went along with the ban, seeing as they mentioned the potential damage to the economy.

It's entirely pointless to copy and paste the comment I replied to instead of at least attempting to clarify in case I misunderstood.

Why would they face prison time for complying with the law?

They are not since pirated windows works just as good as licensed.
