HONG KONG, July 4 (Reuters) - Beverage maker Vitasoy has become the latest target of Chinese netizens calls for a boycott after an employee circulated a memo online offering condolences to the family of a worker who had stabbed a Hong Kong police officer.
In a statement on the Chinese social media platform Weibo on Saturday, Vitasoy said a staff member had circulated a memo that it described as extremely inappropriate without authorisation, and the company reserved the right to take legal action.
The memo offered condolences to the family of a 50-year-old Vitasoy worker who had stabbed a police officer, 28, and then killed himself on Thursday, the anniversary the former British colony s return to Chinese rule, media outlets reported.
