And what are they? if not capitalism and opportunity? Because that's exactly what Apple is doing with China, making money.
But let's cut the hypocrisy here. All these "values" advertised by American companies are PR and marketing for their American audience, nothing more.
Just like Nike faking to care about civil rights in US while using child slave workforce overseas to make cheap shoes. And it works because consumers like narratives, not facts.
Apple is all about narratives, to make Apple client feels special, as a luxury brand.
- behnamoh 7y agoOne could wonder if these values were to be spread all over the world, the companies would be forced to follow them everywhere, even if it's just PR. For example, Nike wouldn't be able to enforce that cruel work environment on children overseas because it would have to honor the same values for good PR even in that foreign country.
