“Your market status in China is temporary, until the government can replace you”
China has 2-3 (due to different standard) of the top smartphone manufacturers in the world, I don't think govt cannot replace Apple. Yet apple is still there.
- jonknee 10y agoChina just cut off some of Apple's services without any warning: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/22/technology/apple-no-longer-immune-to-chinas-scrutiny-of-us-tech-firms.html http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/22/technology/apple-no-longer... > Last week, Apple’s iBooks Store and iTunes Movies were shut down in China, just six months after they were started there. Initially, Apple apparently had the government’s approval to introduce the services. But then a regulator, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, asserted its authority and demanded the closings, according to two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The biggest threat may be a security/encryption related court case similar to the one the US just backed down on. Apple would be put in a very tough place.
