it has more to do with where their factories are located. Hard to negotiate with the people who control the very land and people you utilize to build your hardware

Not saying that justifies it, just think we should be accurate with our outrage

They could have factories in China and not sell phones there. There are also other places to build factories. They just might have to trim back their 42% profit margin. It’s still a willingness to abandon principles for a price, isn’t it?

I think it’s more that they know they don’t have any negotiating power in China. China doesn’t care if they have iMessage, but the UK and the british people do.

Yeah I agree that the CCP have more leverage due to the factories, aa well as the larger user base.

Just like to point out apple aren’t some altruistic organisation, they are a corporation out to make money, and that the CCP suck.

Also, I profoundly disagree with the legislation this thread was originally about.
