I would heavily dispute your claim that their refusal to fire has hurt their bottom line. They had two options: fire or don't fire. In both cases, they were going to lose customers for their choice. I would assert that this choice lost them fewer customers than the other choice.

Firing, sure. But they could have also condemned the comments without firing him which would've helped the Chinese revenues while having less of an impact elsewhere than firing him would have.
