And this is a supply chain and reputational issue, right? And there was me thinking there might be some kind of ethics involved. So drag your heels there, and with any luck the war will be over before you have to make a stand.

And this is why the world is where it is.

Halt is perhaps an incorrect description.

Dithering seems more appropriate.

This is not something to celebrate but yet another thing Japan inc. and the government should be utterly ashamed of.

Not 100%?! I guess money is more important than Gaijin Life.

It is not even abput xenophobia.

Disaster capitalism sees misery as opportunity.

No matter how many Ukrainians died, a swift Russian victory and the dissolution of the Ukrainian state, and sanctions being relaxed would have been a good outcome for transnational capital.

What's the difference with EU still buying oil and gas, just because they can't do without it? After the war these companies worldwide will go back and continue doing business with Russia, so one wonders what was the point then. If you got balls quit and pull out businesses and trades indefinitely, that will send Russia a stronger message

This is not something to trumpet but to be embarrassed about, only 20%! Come on Japan, have some balls and a smidgen of morality and cut trade with the forces of evil in russia.

the majority of the 168 Japanese businesses have been left in limbo as the outlook for the war remains unclear.

80% of Japanese firms were hoping for a quick Russian victory and Ukraine to be forgotten and sanctions relaxed.
