I said this on the thread this morning/yesterday. It is impossible for JH to speak about China with any credibility going forward. That alone made it impossible for him to remain CEO. Add to that, everything he's said about China in the past will now be scrutinized and questioned if he was influenced in some way.

If it was just affairs, he could likely have survived this.

Only by the shallow thinking - there can be more than one reason to espouse a position and they can all be valid.
