COTTON: "Your company said at the time that we will continue to stand up for what is right in Georgia and across the United States. So to take from your that statement at the time that Coca Cola will not stand up for what is right outside the United States because that’s what it sounds like this morning, this testimony."
LALLI: "No, Senator, we -- we stand up for what is right across the world. We apply the same human rights principles in the United States that we do across the world."
COTTON: "Do you believe that the Chinese Communist Party is committing genocide against the Uyghur people."
LALLI: "We're aware of the reports of the State Department on this issue as well as other departments of the U.S. government. We respect those reports. They continue to inform our program as do reports from other -- from civil society." [crosstalk]
COTTON: "I’m talking about under questioning from Senator Merkley and Representative McGovern and Representative Chris Smith, every single on of you refuse to say a single word by all appearances, that will cost you one bit of market share inside of mainland China. Mr. Lalli, for instance, you’re asked if, If Coca Cola would call for the IOC to delay the Chinese Olympics? To have a chance for them to be [indecipherable] or for China to stop its genocide against its own people. And you said that Coca Cola, quote -- I think this is your exact words -- quote, 'doesn’t have a say' end quote. Can you tell me why Coca Cola doesn’t have a say, you know, whether its sponsors that genocide Olympics next year, but it does have a say in how the state of Georgia runs an election loss."
LALLI: "So what I -- what I stated was that we do not have a say in the selection of the host city nor on whether an Olympics is postponed or relocated it."
