Tim Cook has just made a very public investment in the future of China, betting $1 billion on the country's version of Uber as he prepares for a trip to Beijing.

In regards to the article: It does, however, reflect Apple's laser-like focus on China, which Cook predicts will one day surpass the United States as the company's top market. -- That's a self fulfilling prophesy.

In regards to your comment: So investing in totalitarian China where LGBTs are banned from appearing on tv, and no gay marriage allowed is ok but verboten to do business is states such as NC

Tim Cook is one of the evil agents who turned Colorado from a reliably conservative state to a center of pro-gay, anti-Christian activism.
