And just like that... Manolo Blahnik can sell in China

Manolo Blahnik can finally sell his shoes in China. This has been a fight 22 years in the making, and the Spanish shoe maker isn’t alone. Big western brands have been fighting and losing in Chinese courts for decades. But last week, something changed. China’s highest court sided with Manolo Blahnik, cancelled the trademark held by a local Chinese business and opened the door for Manolo Blahnik to sell his shoes in China. Today Alec and Sascha talk about what changed, and wonder does this case tell us anything about China’s changing relationship with western fashion brands?
