Question

Business Law help, please.

Joan is spending time in China and wants to start an Internet business there. The Chinese government tells her that certain items on her website are objectionable and illegal, and that if she wants to do business in China, she must remove the objectionable material. Which of the following is true? Joan is within her rights and should stand her ground. She is a U.S. citizen, 1) and so long as she complies with U.S. law, she can do business in China and keep the material in the website that the Chinese government finds objectionable. Joan is within her rights to keep the material on her site only if she petitioned 2) her state senator before starting the Internet business in China and obtained the senator's permission to proceed. If Joan wants to do business in China, she must abide by Chinese law and 3) remove the objectionable material from the website. By international law, there is a set international fee of $10,000 that Joan can 4) pay if she wants to obey only U.S. law. If she pays that amount, she can continue in China without any removal of the objectionable material. By international law, there is a set international fee of $5,000 that Joan can 5) pay if she wants to obey only U.S. law. If she pays that amount, she can continue in China without any removal of the objectionable material.
