Example:
Apple computer corporation imposes employee age and hours policies on foreign companies it does business with. Reference the Wired article about Foxconn for deeper view.
While it's easy to argue that's a good thing, it's imperialism nonetheless. Perhaps people see a corporation telling a corporation what to do. But, despite US opinion to the contrary, corporations are not people. They are, however, powered by people and the edict applies to them and their life. Their life influences their community, which influences their nation, their people, and their government.
There's this strange sense that everything must be seen from the eyes of the conquering and not the conquered.
