Is BT or Tata global companies? HSBC is I agree with that one, but it is well represented both in US and Canada, so you can cross it off of your list. Not sure how much water HT stirs but your list is rather the exception and not the rule.
I have no idea what you mean by state sanctioned. All companies are sanctioned by the state they're incorporated in.

This is getting tedious. Your original request was for :

give me an example of long running successful companies that could afford to ignore the US market.

Now your latest iteration is multinational companies that don't operate in the US - that's quite a different proposition but there's still plenty. As you say they're always going to be the exception to the rule - but when you keep changing the requirements each time I post it's a pointless task.

You asked for somebody to name successful companies that have succeeded without penetration in the US market. I've done that.

Thank you and goodnight.
