What are the predictions for which U.S. tech company would be banned by China as retaliation?
My top pick is -
LinkedIn (Most other U.S. social networks are already banned in mainland China anyways, then again LinkedIn is being used extensively by Chinese to do Business with outside world; So I wonder whether China would dare to pull the plug).
Or it may just ban Instagram, Snapchat in HongKong as there is no ban for such U.S. apps in HongKong currently and that technical governance differences with mainland is fast evaporating. But, I wonder whether banning apps in HK would amount to appropriate retaliation in terms of market size.
- creato 6y agoIt's ridiculous that you even talk about retaliation in a post where you acknowledge that anything that would be a worthy retaliation is already banned!
- Abishek_Muthian 6y agoI think it's ridiculous to say, China wouldn't even consider retaliation. It has to appease its domestic audience like any other country irrespective of the differences in governance model.
- creato 6y agoOf course China is going to retaliate. That doesn't mean we shouldn't consider that ridiculous.
- Abishek_Muthian 6y agoOf course you can, but the parent didn't call that ridiculous, but me talking about China's retaliation.
- nfc_ 6y agoApple makes $50 billion in revenues a year from the China market. Would people still buy it's phones if the App store or mobile data was shut-off?
- xvector 6y agoHuh, now that would be some fantastic retaliation from China!
