Do not do business with China, you should withdraw.
China betrays only technology from Korean companies.
Let’s not build a factory in China anymore.
Isn’t it always done by China?
China sucks a lot of sweet juice and betrays if it receives technology transfer for free.
When you withdraw from China, you have to blow up all the equipment in the factory to make a fake.
