saw an extremely angry news!
Just yesterday, Patrick Rosset, the son of the CEO of French Champagne winery Deutz, posted on his Facebook that "Chinese products should be boycotted" and "China is a drag on the global economy." The original text is as follows:

What is the origin of Champagne? Z21z
Champagne Champagne was established in 1838. It is a famous estate with a history of nearly 200 years. It was acquired by Princess Louis Roederer in 1938 and is very popular in France. Among the "30 Most Admired Champagne Brands" in the latest edition (2019) of "Drinks International" magazine, Tizi Champagne ranked 15th. Among Chinese consumers, there are also many who love Tiz Champagne. Titz's CEO Fabrice Rosset has come to China many times to promote products, and his reputation in the industry has always been good.
As the son of CEO, Patrick Rose is currently mainly responsible for the sales of Tiz Champagne. As a representative of such a big champagne brand, it is really shocking and angry to make such irrational and discriminatory remarks openly!
Although he urged to delete the post shortly after posting, the news caused an uproar in the French Chinese circle and the domestic wine circle.
Later, Patrick Rose had to post a painless "apology" , but netizens didn't buy it:
But it's not over yet, this person will have more nasty operations!
Obviously he did not really feel that his discriminatory remarks were inappropriate, but he deleted the post and apologized due to temporary pressure of public opinion, and also deleted all the comments of the French who opposed him under his post, leaving only the Chinese. Trying to create an illusion that "only Chinese people oppose me, and French people support me."

Not only that, Patrick Ross also replied to the French and Chinese: "If you don't like what I say, you can go back to China!" Zz
As we all know, the global fight against the epidemic is now at a critical period, and our domestic situation has improved. However, the epidemic abroad, especially in Europe, is not optimistic. Countries such as Italy and Spain have adopted blockade measures.
Recalling that since the outbreak of the epidemic, China has endured too many unfair discrimination, prejudice and groundless accusations, and the various remarks made by Western countries have opened their eyes.
Although the World Health Organization has named the new coronavirus pneumonia "COVID-19", countless foreign media still call it "Chinese virus."
The Wall Street Journal called China "the real sick man of East Asia."
The Danish "Jylland Post" published a cartoon insulting China, drawing the five stars on our national flag into a virus, and also called it "freedom of speech."
Where is freedom of speech? This is racial discrimination in the name of freedom of speech!
2009 A H1N1 fluThe outbreak from the United States spread to 214 countries and regions, with more than 1.3 million people infected.
Does anyone call it an "American virus"? No.
Has anyone asked the United States to apologize for this? Has the United States apologized? No.
can not be too "double standard".
Speaking of it, this is not the first time that foreigners who are biased towards China have "double-labeled".
The New York Times just slammed on China a few days ago, saying that China's lockdown "brought huge losses to the people's freedom." 20 minutes later, it praised Italy's lockdown as "risking economic risks to protect Europe."
Faced with the "unfriendliness" of other countries, China has chosen to "repay grievances with virtue" and extended a helping hand to Japan, South Korea, Iran, Italy, Spain and other countries based on humanitarian principles. Italian netizens swiped the Facebook page of the Chinese Embassy in Italy to thank China, saying that the EU had abandoned them and that China was the only country that reached out to help them.

You must know that everyone is equal before life and death.
We have all seen the news these days. Whether it is a celebrity or an ordinary person, an athlete or a national politician, the possibility of contracting the virus is the same.
will return to Tiz Champagne. Maybe Patrick Rosse thinks that the virus has nothing to do with him now, and he thinks that this is "free speech."
Everyone knows that "freedom of speech" necessarily requires "responsibility for speech." As the representative of the brand, his personal remarks represent the attitude of the brand.
And we, as consumers, have the right to vote with money in hand.
Just as in Patrick Rose’s tweet, the French-Chinese sommelier Ruan Jun said:
"You don’t need Chinese products, and we Chinese don’t need your wine. It’s fair, isn’t it?"
What's more, the epidemic is not a country’s own business, but the difficulties and challenges that all mankind needs to face together. We are not each other’s enemies, but the virus is our common enemy. Brands that can't recognize this point clearly show their vision and pattern!
Finally, I would like to advise Tizi Champagne: the most basic thing for in doing business is mutual respect and integrity . Don't want to make money from Chinese people, but also look down on China and be unwilling to respect China. A company with such an ugly appearance is destined to not survive in the long term in the Chinese market.
