I get what you're trying to say, but this comment is really far off of the mark. It's good to care about Chinese culture, but it's another thing entirely to elevate culture over human rights. What does it matter what the average Chinese citizen thinks about this? By pulling the app, Apple is taking the side of an oppressive regime against Hong Kong. Whether or not 90% of Chinese citizens agree with Hong Kong is utterly irrelevant to the conversation. They're not the people being oppressed. I don't care if the average Chinese citizen likes Hong Kong, any more than I care about whether the average Chinese citizen likes Muslims, or any more than I care about whether the average US citizen likes immigrants or LGBQT+ citizens. The opinions of the oppressed matter, the opinions of unaffected third-party observers do not, in except that their opinions spur them to action to help the oppressed. If 90% of the Chinese population thinks that HK is just a misbehaving tiny city that needs to be brought into line, then 90% of the Chinese population is wrong, and Apple is wrong to side with them. Human rights are not a cultural artifact, they're not decided by majority. They're recognized, not granted.
