Just posting the title, you can find the full article on the Bloomberg website.
However there is one thing I noticed. In the third paragraph it says:
"The iPhone maker has most of its products manufactured in the country..."
This in an article, about Tim Cook speaking at an event in China, at Wuzhen. The keynote speech. Among other things.
The same article also specifically mentioned Wang HuNing, a senior official from China, as calling for even more Chinese monitoring the very same day.
In my humble opinion, we (America) really need to bring manufacturing, back to America once again.
Just saying.
Just wondering.
Cook needs to be challenged to support American or choose China. As much as I like my iPhone and iPads, maybe these products should be next up for blocking imports of if China continues to aid and defend North Korea.
If they decided to build billions of mini drone weapons we have no answer to that.
Put a shotgun in everyone’s hands.
China is supporting a worldwide closed system as you put it - restrictions, regulations out the wazoo.
By inference, the tech companies, including Google, Cisco et al, support this approach while speaking out of the other side of their collective mouths to make it appear their support is for only China.
Collective greed when facing a mass market of 1.8 billon customers - 350,000,000 of which are very affluent - does strange things to many companies ...
China’s Sesame Score is even worse. It combines a credit score, political loyalty score and everything else into a social rating. Have too many dissident friends or cheat on a test, can’t get the travel visa and your dating profile is downgrade. Yes, seriously.
I understand.
I was in Beijing living, back before Tiananmen Square.
Very early. Long before our ‘business’ leaders decided it made sense for some reason to sell America down the historical river.
I get it. Completely.
