Does China Want Apple to Become a 1000 Year Old Digital Egg?
July 11, 2016
I know China is a large market. I know China has a baker’s dozen of top flight engineering schools. I know China has outfits able to make things from prototypes to industrial scale production of stuff for dollar stores.
My thought is that China wants Apple style mobile phones made by folks China feels comfy with. My hunch is that Apple itself may not be on the short list of China’s BBFs.
Navigate to “Apple’s Problems in China Continue as It’s Sued over a 1990s War Film.” I assume the write up is spot on and that headline contains a germ of insight; namely, “problem in China continue.” The operative words are “continue” and “problems.”
I learned:
Apple is being sued in China over a 1990s war film.
I wonder if Cupertino’s Mandarin Gourmet has a fortune cookie with this saying inside which might be included with the restaurant’s sizzling rice soup:
The world may be your oyster, but it doesn’t mean you’ll get its pearl.
How will the China Apple interaction conclude? Years ago, I heard that Google wanted China to change? I wonder how that worked out. Perhaps some countries want companies which do not perceive themselves as having more power than the nation state?
