The government doesn't need to. The Chinese population will decide if they want to drop Apple themselves. They already have basically stopped buying Samsung after the S7 issue and the US military base.
The free market in action...
- arusahni 7y agoS7? Did you mean Note 7?
- adinobro 7y agoYep. http://fortune.com/2016/09/16/samsung-galaxy-recall-china/ http://fortune.com/2016/09/16/samsung-galaxy-recall-china/ The battery was different but had a similar problem - https://www.scmp.com/tech/enterprises/article/2026800/samsung-faces-tarnished-brand-and-us630m-lost-sales-opportunity https://www.scmp.com/tech/enterprises/article/2026800/samsun...
- nullwasamistake 7y agoThe Chinese government already does. The state controlled media puts out massive amounts of propaganda railing foreign firms. The same could be said for the US in the case of Hauwei but China is far worse on this front.
- yogthos 7y agoJust like oligarchy controlled media puts out massive amount of propaganda here.
- nullwasamistake 7y agoIt does. But here you're free to speak your mind and sources with all sorts of opinions are available. In China, the state supported line is the only opinion you'll find. Information not favorable to the party is widely suppressed
- yogthos 7y agoThere is no practical difference. Here you can scream into the void until you're blue in the face, but it's not going to make a lick of difference. When your government is bought and paid for by the oligarchy, it's just a management committee for the rich. At least in China people know where they stand, while people here are deluded that they have some kind of freedom.
- adinobro 7y agoDo you have any actual examples? Chinese TV & newspapers spend most of their time speaking about how good China and Chinese companies are rather than caring about US companies. Lots of Chinese people are not aware of the "trade war". I'm not asking for many just 1 recent example.
- nullwasamistake 7y agoI'm not going to take your obvious bait. There's thousands, use google
- kibibu 7y agoIt didn't look like obvious bait to me, just asking for a single recent example.
- nullwasamistake 7y agoThere's clearly many examples out there to support any opinion. The only reason to ask for a single article instead of giving concrete opinions is to derail the topic by trying to point out flaws in whatever you find. It's a really common trolling tactic. You can see the user responded anyways when I refused to participate. Why didn't they just say that the first time?
- adinobro 7y agoI'm not actually trolling. I'm interested in reading an article like this. I've seen people talk about them and looked for them but not seen one. The ones I've seen are just boring. Sorry if you thought it was a troll. It sounded like you knew an actual source that I could check out rather than just rumours.
