For once I find myself in complete agreement with you.
The only reason I have sympathy for Apple in this situation is that at the time they began their investment in China, the US and the West in general believed that China was on a path to liberalization and genuinely wanted to support them as a global ally.
It’s not going to be easy to disentangle from that.
- echelon 6y agoI know we frequently disagree about Apple, but I imagine we see eye to eye about more things than not. I also agree that Apple and other companies may have waded into this water without realizing the changing tide. We might have been too hopeful of a good outcome, or simply didn't think long term enough. A lot of folks pictured a more liberal China, as you mention. It's a tricky situation.
