"Competition is competition."
Not if you have a state-backed cultish operation leveraging hyper nationalism and breaking all of the rules.
You can't compete with an entity that has unlimited cash, a massive spy apparatus behind it, access to financing from state owned banks that work with the central bank, where state banks print money to finance your customers, and completely asymmetric trade rules working in it's favour.
"Don't worry, we can make that for 1/5th the cost that you do, thanks to our labour laws back home (!) and the fact our IP appeared magically on our desks. And you don't even need to pay that money now - pay it later - our friendly CCP bank back home will give you unlimited credit! I might disagree with what I am telling you and everything bout it, but I've been trained since youth to store those notions deep inside and to never really speak the truth".

- jariel 6y agoApple is owned or controlled by the US Government? Apple has the JP Morgan handing out cheap loans backed by the Fed to it's customers? Apple works in perfect sync with the US Government and execs 'disappear' when they don't? What happened when Jack Ma dared to disagree with Xi?
