- cianmm 7y agoApple have been there for quite some time, they’re probably happy enough with the trade off.
- ur-whale 7y agoApple is so far gone in the closed ecosystem game, they're pretty much impossible to copy.
- addicted 7y agoThe long term implications have been that American companies are richer than ever before.
- mauflows 7y agoWhat about longer than that. In GPs case what if Huawei outcompetes with stolen IP?
- Seenso 7y ago> The long term implications have been that American companies are richer than ever before. That's medium term. Long term is Comac and Huawei drive down Boeing and Apple's market share until they're bit players in their industries (or go out of business altogether).
- secfirstmd 7y agoAren't Tesla also building in China?
- Whatarethese 7y agoThey have a Gigafactory in China. Cars made in China stay there.
- renox 7y agoNot so sure about IP used in this (or other) factory though..
- killjoywashere 7y agoI am willing to bet every piece of equipment bound for that factory is inspected by Chinese engineers for interestingness. The plant is imaged during down time for documentation of any other interestingness.
- njarboe 7y agoThey are, but the factory is fully owned and operated by Tesla, not the usual 51% Chinese 49% American joint venture that was the norm until the recent trade fight.
