Chinese nationalists are boycotting KFC outlets and smashing their iPhones in protest of American companies.
Chinese state media called for "rational patriotism" Wednesday amid a number of anti-U.S. protests in recent days about the outcome of a United Nations tribunal that ruled against Beijing in its spat with the Philippines over territorial claims in the South China Sea.
Chinese nationalists have protested at KFC outlets and called for boycotts of the fast-food chain while photos and video circulating online and on social media show people wearing scarves and banners with patriotic slogans smashing Apple iPhones in protest.
The case against China was brought by U.S. ally the Philippines but the protesters' public anger has been fueled in part by Chinese government accusations that Washington encouraged Manila to oppose Beijing’s claims to the vast tracts of ocean.
Last week’s ruling by the U.N. tribunal in the Hague found there was no legal basis for Beijing’s claim to most of the South China Sea. Despite the overlapping claims, Beijing has been undertaking vast infrastructure projects in the area to secure natural resources and control strategic shipping lanes.
China's leadership has tried to tamp down this week’s protests with demands in state media to leave foreign companies and their customers alone.
“This is not the right way to express patriotism,” the state-run Xinhua News Agency said Wednesday. The China Daily newspaper called the protests “jingoism that does a disservice to the spirit of devotion to the nation.” The People's Daily, a mouthpiece for China's ruling Communist Party, urged calm and "rational patriotism."
“The Chinese public, as optimistic and positive as they are, are deeply patriotic and nationalistic, especially people who are younger,” James Roy of the research firm China Market Research Group, told the Associated Press.
KFC and Apple “are just closely associated with the U.S., and you are seeing people picking the closest symbol they can think of to demonstrate against,” he said.
KFC is China’s biggest restaurant chain with more than 5,000 outlets. It is overhauling its struggling business there after a food scandal and marketing missteps. Apple has faced a series of legal hurdles this year in China.

Brexit The tech world reacts to UK's withdrawal from EU
The UK's decision to leave the European Union -- a movement called Brexit
-- goes against the sentiment of leading technologists and economists, all of
whom fear the potential effects at home and abroad. Nevertheless, the British
tech industry and the foreign tech companies that operate in the country must
now decide how to proceed, how to weather any potential storms and how to make
the most of the new environment in which they'll have to operate.

now decide how to proceed, how to weather any potential storms and how to make
the most of the new environment in which they'll have to operate.
The referendum to exit the EU is unprecedented, making it impossible to
make long-term predictions about the impact on the tech world. But the
bombshell decision promises to shake things up as important figures and tech
companies take stock of the new norm. In the US, Donald Trump lauded the Brexit
movement, which he linked to his own unlikely ascension. President Barack Obama
said the US' relationship with the UK remains unchanged.

In the UK, the reaction can be summed up with one acronym: PMA. That's right,
there's a lot of "positive mental attitude" going round right now.
And the tech world is going to need a lot of PMA.

What about my mobile operator?
Despite throwing its weight behind the "remain" campaign, a
spokeswoman for carrier BT said that it was "business as usual" at
the company. "We'll work closely with the British government and EU during
negotiations, to ensure BT's views are heard, as our goal is to protect the
interests of our customers, employees, shareholders and business."

Rival O2 expressed disappointment. "We believe that large businesses
like ours would have been stronger remaining in the EU," said a company
spokesman. "Whatever happens next we will continue to fiercely compete in
our market, innovate and deliver for our customers."

Vodafone and Virgin Media were both keen to reassure customers that they'd

impact on their UK businesses.

The EU is working toward eliminating roaming fees across the continent by
June 2017, and there's a possibility that the UK could lose out on this
benefit, said Luca Schiavoni, senior analyst at Ovum. "UK operators will
no longer be subject to the EC's roaming regulation," he said.

This is not a given, though. The networks have been trying to implement

Data-protection regulations, which give internet users control over what

not disintegrate when the UK is no longer a member. For now the regulations are
"the law of the land," said a representative from the Information
Commissioner's Office.

"If the UK is not part of the EU, then upcoming EU reforms to
data-protection law would not directly apply to the UK," said the rep, who
added, however, that the UK's standards would have to be "equivalent"
to Europe's in order for the two to trade.

Stoicism rules
The positive attitude of the UK mobile networks is echoed by the UK's startup
scene, which is the strongest in Europe. Many high-profile tech entrepreneurs
are taking the stoic approach.

"I voted #Remain -- but I also believe that Britain will always be
open, creative & entrepreneurial. Let's ensure that happens. #EUref,"
tweeted Rohan Silva, co-founder of tech accelerator Second Home and prominent
advocate of the London tech scene. His post was retweeted by Baroness Martha

Not everyone shared their optimism. A number of the UK's most successful
startups were adamantly against leaving Europe. TransferWise co-founder Taavet
Hinrikus, who was staunchly in favor of remaining in the EU, told The Guardian
that now "Headquartering elsewhere is a possibility."

Due to the UK being the financial capital of Europe, many money- and
payment-based tech startups like TransferWise are based in London --
particularly around Silicon Roundabout. There are some that believe this sector
could be hard hit by the outcome.

James Dyson was perhaps the lone figure from the British tech scene
supporting Brexit, but a spokeswoman for his company, which makes vacuum
cleaners and hand air-dryers, said Friday that the firm would not be
