So China develops an Olympics app for the athletes and tells them they have to have it on their iPhones, yet with only cursory reviews third-party security analysts found it has malware baked inside. This is a high-profile app, something that some high-up in the review process probably was assigned, and they gave it the OK? Can you help me understand the "rules" that you have come to cozy yourself into?
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoCan you help me to understand why the nasty? I wasn't telling anyone else what to do; simply relating my own experience. Ah...the heck with it. I should have known better than to stick my oar in here. I'm nuking the comment.
- smithza 5y agoFair critique, I don't mean anything personal. I was just so peeved about Apple's friendliness to China's communism that I haven't cooled down yet. I am far outside the field of discussion and am only looking in. My question actual question is earnest: I don't understand the "rules" that Apple decides to follow in the context of China.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoI strongly suspect that they have caved, and are actively cooperating with the Chinese authorities. It's a really big market, and they luvs their munny. I have no intentions of developing apps for distribution in China. I'm not happy, too. I deleted a paragraph in this response about a conversation I had -just this morning- with a friend that owns a fairly substantial company, that does a lot of its manufacturing in China. I won't go into it, but China has their own "rules," and they have the muscle to enforce them.
