Also based on recent analysis many countries e.g. China, South Korea have increased exports to Russia including dual use technologies which are prohibited under recent sanctions.
This combined with upcoming war games involving China and Russia shows clearly where their allegiances lie.
So the risk of China being economically punished is not insignificant and Apple is very likely to be caught in the cross-fire if it does happen.
- kelnos 4y agoI have a hard time blaming Southe Korea here. Russia and China are their literal neighbors. If China decided to invade SK, their relationship with the US wouldn't save them. Russia wouldn't have quite as much military success there right now (given their preoccupation in Ukraine), but it makes sense to keep them happy.
- fleddr 4y agoI would be interested in that analysis, as I've read the exact opposite. China will be the sole supplier of many goods for Russians as they have nowhere else to go, but simultaneously China is careful not to overstep bounds as it does not want to upset the US, a trade partner about 10 times more important than Russia. It also stopped/delayed many promised infra investments in Russia. As for allegiances, China has none. Not with anybody. China has no moralistic or principal allies. It simply does what is best for China, and happily plays all sides all at once.
