How does China use nationalism in international brand controversies? And where are its limits?

"Particular memories of the past have been cultivated and popularized in China to justify the claims and actions of the current leadership."

China’s nationalists bristled at a mention of U.S.-South Korea cooperation in Korean War, fought against China and North Korea.

Hyper-nationalist online attacks, like the campaign against Fang Fang, have disturbing parallels to the Mao era.
