What say you, chum?

Apple is a publicly traded corporation with its books open, showing all entries for income and expenses. There are no entries show a five year program totaling $275 billion “slush fund” being spent in Asia, much less in China alone. The amount would be equivalent to the You are talking a total amount equal to several years total profits from Asian Sales after taxes. Add it’s SECRET (dripping in derision)! We can’t find where Apple has spent anywhere near that amount of money, except where it WOULD have spent it for manufacturing its products anyway, and during that time Apple moved many products OUT of China to, diversifying its manufacturing and product assembly to countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Ireland, and even the United States. It simply does not make sense for this to be true. Look how it checks all the anti-China/hate-Apple boxes… Ergo, it’s FUD.—PING

APPLE in CHINA FUD PING!

Your response is a strawman?

The responses at the link do a better job than you.

Thanks, Swiordmaker. I heard about this on a conservative radio station this morning and felt sad, a bit betrayed.

Keep us posted on the truth about this. Who did Apple refuse to pay off? Or do I need more tin foil?

How much is Apple even worth? Even to a big company like them, $275B isn’t just a drop in the bucket.

Apple...a trillion dollar company.... was also chastised for keeping assets outside the US.

Apple is a publicly traded corporation w/ its books AND ITS ANNUAL REPORT legally required to show all entries for income and expenses.

There are no entries for a five year $275 billion “slush fund” program being spent in Asia, much less in China.

dude....

Don’t you know that the haters will always hate, and that facts don’t matter. It’s as if some people’s hate is so bad that it drives them to use the same standards of proof and evidence that Democrats/Marxists use... you know, the same propaganda swallowers who deride the “Left” for such behavior.

But somehow - Apple is a favored whipping boy. I sure wouldn’t want any of the folks in here on a jury I’m facing. They don’t care about the truth...
