China does not need Apple, in fact there would be significant benefit to Apple exiting China.
More power, more control for the CCP.
China has the capacity to do very serious damage to Apple, potentially even put the company at risk if they acted quickly and with malice.
This is a completely one-sided relationship.
"the parties are aware of their relative power and influence and act accordingly..." Agreed. In China Apple does what the CCP wants.
Not a "complex power dynamic" IMO.
I may be "expressing dismay in a way that is too blunt to be useful to many people here".
In return I think you are expressing very little beyond obsfucation and misdirection which I don't find particularly useful either.
Lastly I'd like to offer you some unsolicited advice in return. Please try not to be so condescending when dealing with others if you want them to respond positively.
- xpe 4y agoI'm sorry if I sounded condescending. What part(s) bothered you? How would you suggest I offer my particular feedback in a way that is not condescending?
- xpe 4y agoI was offering some feedback in response to your complaint about downvotes. I didn't want to replicate the same debates had in other threads on this topic. Generally, this kind of interaction -- relatively positive, to your credit -- is illustrative of why, I think. What I mean is this: I don't think either of us feel particularly satisfied with it, do we? This seems like a lost opportunity. I feel like you and I could easily have a productive conversation with another medium, such as in person or perhaps some platform with a different interaction pattern.
