Countries? Black Friday is celebrated world wide? That makes no sense.

“Celebrated”? - no; there are discounts - yes.

American retailers have exported it. I’m in a small city in Japan and saw Black Friday signs on the entrance to the department store connected to the train station. Nobody lines up or goes bezerk like in the USA, but retailers do try to lure people in with discounts. And of course Amazon has had Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. So other online retailers try to compete. I was very happy to hear the Amazon workers here have joined the global strike.
