In the coming days, not only Carrefour is being tested
Image via WikipediaAs May 1 nears, a holiday in China and a traditional shopping day, Carrefour and other retailers from France prepare to face possibly more unrest at its 112 stores, the Financial Times writes.Carrefour has become a symbol in China of nationalist anger against foreigners in the wake of recent clashes in Tibet and the subsequent protests against the Olympics torch relay in Europe, the US and Asia.But it is also going to be a test for the central government, who does not want the anti-foreigner sentiment in China to take over its more balanced ways to deal with international relations. It is going to be a very busy time for law enforcement authorities.

It is great that at these early days of trading with/in China, western businesses are realizing the real cost of doing business there, and with China. This will allow them to plan their business better.
