When in Rome...

China is their biggest and fastest growing market. They have a product to sell. Sometimes they have to embrace cultures that may be seen as undesirable here in the USA. Maybe in Iraq they will offer factory installed explosives too?

You're confused with Greece. Homosexuality wasn't nearly as prevalent in Rome. Romans even made Greek wrestlers wear clothes because the crowds were revolted by two men wrestling naked.
