I was expecting a glib reply such as your own and I'm saddened that I'm not disappointed.

  I live in China... money and relationships come first, justice is an afterthought.

    China, where they Party all the time. Just don't cause China to lose face, or your's will be seen no more.

    A couple of things: Your friend's assault case - he's not a multi-billion dollar company with a massive investment in the mainland. Chinese consumers don't simply love him, like they do Apple products. (First-hand experience.) I notice the Goophone people are based in Hong Kong where the rule of law is quite a bit stronger. Apple have the money, they have the relationships. This whole thing is clearly grandstanding on the Goophone people's part. I am willing to put cash money on the line to say it's inconsequential to Apple launching the iPhone 5 on the mainland. There will be a delay - the usual delay for Apple products that mainland China experiences and nothing to do with this knockoff junk.

    If money and relationships come first you're suggesting that this other company has more money than Apple? Or indeed more clout (given how big a client of Foxconn, the largest private employer in China, it is)?
