Tim Cook is a supply-chain optimalisator. He won't do anything to put his supply-chain in jepardy. So, that includes not offending China. Even if he's telling the truth, he has lost my trust. I have no proof of him speaking his mind, ever. Like this, were he is used by Trump in the most publicly way possible: https://youtu.be/75-aFisygmA https://youtu.be/75-aFisygmA I'm pretty sure he rolls over, before they even ask. Blocking, unblocking and blocking the protestor app is Apple anticipating what they will gain with the most. And they came to the conclusion that China market access > human rights in Taiwan + bad publicity. And yeah, the internal note of Tom Cook was full of bullshit, concerning the app. No company is going to explain financial motives to their employees.
