All the other countries are also demanding they pay their taxes. They got away with paying no taxes for decades. They can threaten all they want. If some of these businesses stop producing I'm betting that if the need were there in the first place for that business, someone else will take it up. If they want to move elsewhere, where? They'll have to pay where ever they go.
