The sad part is I've seen American companies do the same thing - Walmart is a good example. They would sell a product, say Dial hand soap as an example, and see that they have a really popular type/scent. Next they have their own brand placed right next to it, 10 cents cheaper, and guess which one has more sold pieces off the shelf? How does Dial feel when their extensive walmart sales suddenly drop just to find out their sales partner is now directly competing against them? Costco is another.

We love to cannibalize each other already, no honour among thieves, so no wonder another country has figured out how to just take over puppeting our people and corporations against ourselves. Amazon is now basically Chinese run without even drawing the ire of the government.
