Grammar
clauses
As the sponsors of the Olympics have learned to their cost, while consumer- and shareholder-activists in the West demand they take a stand against perceived Chinese abuses, in China itself firms' partners and customers are all too ready to take offence.
I am quite confused by the two clauses "as..." and "while..." and can't get what they are saying.
Could you please explain how the sentence is constructed?
Thank you.
