I started wondering whether Apple is playing a longer game here: - Reject the app: create media attention - Accept the app: media attention, HKers can download the app en-masse. - Then a few days later comply to the CCP and remove it from he store, but keeping it on the user devices. The app is still usable by all those that downloaded it. They did not tell the CCP that they _could_ block them on devices too. This way HKers have the app but the Apple production chain in China is safe. (And without that chain there are no iPhones anywhere). I just don't see why Apple would make such a major PR screwup by rejecting and THEN accepting only to reject it again. Would have been less issue if they kept it rejected all along.
