- dis-sys 9y agooh, they can just quit the Chinese market by following what google did almost 10 years ago. look at google's share price & revenues, surely you don't need the Chinese market to be successful. fb is another good example.
- LeifCarrotson 9y agoApple is huge in China. I agree that Apple doesn't need China to be successful, but that's a lot of money left on the table: for what purpose? For principles? For the subset of your customers who are concerned about privacy?
- Paul-ish 9y agoThe Microsoft case doesn't need to be surprising, because Microsoft is a part of PRISM and maybe other such programs. To China that means Microsoft products might as well be sending data directly to NSA datacenters. They probably don't like the NSA having that kind of view into their country.
