You’re getting downvotes, which is unfortunate.
The only logical conclusion from this is that Apple has (correctly) decided to take a position on this. Unfortunately, by doing so, they’ve invalidated the typical justification for not speaking up on Chinese atrocities against their own marginalized citizens. Barring a more detailed explanation, the only conclusion that you can draw is that they (again, correctly) disagree with how the state of Texas treats it’s citizens, but agree with how China treats it’s citizens.

This is hardly the only conclusion you can draw. Another is that Apple (correctly imo) sees that they have a lot of influence over the law in Texas, and none at all in China.

- jdlshore 5y agoThis is reductionist nonsense. I can easily imagine scenarios where Apple disagrees with China treats its oppressed citizens, but chooses not to speak out against them.
