As Russia's invasion in Ukraine enters it's second year, Chinese appliance maker Haier is rapidly expanding its business in Russia adding 2 more factories, while continuing to sell to American, Canadian, European and international consumers. Not only that, but they are actively working to bring more Chinese companies to Russia. Haier recently received a grade of F from the Yale School of Management for their involvement in Russia.  Haier is investing into the Russia economy and thus investing in Putin's war in Ukraine. To date this war has resulted in hundreds of thousands of pointless casualties and challenges democracy in Europe. All the while Haier and its brands, including GE Appliances, profit.

Here are some of the translated quotes found on Russian and Chinese media and government sites from the last 9 months:

"At the same time, at a recent meeting, the new Consul General of the People's Republic of China in Tatarstan said that four enterprises with Chinese capital have been located in the republic with the assistance of the Chinese company Haier. Five more have become residents of the Haier Industrial Park." - November 18, 2022, realnoevremya.ru

"Consul General Wu said that the Haier Russia project is a model and benchmark for China-Russia cooperation in the non-energy field, and one of the most successful projects invested and constructed by Chinese companies in the Federal District along the Volga River." - June 23, 2022, www.mfa.gov.cn

"But everyone wants to get into the Haier factory. There they make TVs, washing machines, refrigerators - the entire line of household appliances. And all this at the highest quality level. Now a factory is being built there, which was completely robotic, a digital factory, the only one in Russia,” said Sergey Mayorov" - June 18, 2022, spbdnevnik.ru

"Chinese Haier became the leader in unit sales of refrigerators, in washing machines it rose to second place after LG, the Candy brand became third in this category. Haier also entered the top five in dishwashers" - November 19, 2022, www.bfm.ru

It's time for consumers to tell Haier to either 'Get out of Russia or get out of HERE'. We need companies that share our values and if Haier does not, they can leave American, Canadian, European and Western markets.

Call to action:

1. Boycott Haier and their brands until they leave Russia. 
2. Spread the word.
3. Contact appliance store chains to demand they drop the Haier and GE Appliance brands.
