One of the requirements of doing business in china is that the chinese branch of your company needs to be substantially chinese owned and operated, even if they are nominally subordinate to the parent company. When the bugmen started working themselves into a shoot, perhaps they decided that the prospect of potential chinkbuxs did not outweigh the more nebulous but also more consequential socio-organizational effects of catering to the demographic; that there was no easy or obvious path between maintaining integrity as a company and continuing to do business in the market, and so separation was the inevitable decision.
It's sad that most of the girls themselves ended up as collateral damage, but such is life in the zone.
