- justaman 9y agoI think(I hope) as more people in China come online they will realize that they are missing out.
- r00fus 9y agoSadly the opposite might occur. Fake news is very useful. For corporations, it acts like PR/marketing channel. For nation-states it's a great propaganda channel. What if the Communist Party of China was actually visionaries what the Internet could do for oppressive nation-states, if properly harnessed for the good of the party?
- rainbowmverse 9y agoThis was the hope with the internet here in the US. Hundreds of millions of users later, the average person seems even less informed on the world around them. Access is meaningless if good information is less appealing or is made to seem less credible than propaganda.
- Y_Y 9y agoI was going to comment that I think the question referred to what course of action /Apple/ should take, but maybe fundamentally changing superstates is not off the table when you have multinational megacorp resources.
- lostlogin 9y agoWhat are you suggesting? Revolution?
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoAnd how could Apple accomplish that?
- azinman2 9y agoBy threatening to pull manufacturing.

- seanmcdirmid 9y agoChina adds so little value there I don’t think it would cause a blip. Then Apple would have decide somewhere else to do that with the right supply chain in place.
