China Wants To Enforce Socialism On Apple?

China will win this war. Why? They have stability and homogeneity at home. America is incredibly divided and new fractures appear every day. A house divided cannot stand.

>warns [Apple] could be used as a bargaining chip in trade war
And Apple saw this coming years ago, and that's one of the reasons the company has been laying the groundwork to move operations to India.

Then don't do biz in China. You have no inherent, god-given right to do biz in China. I know this is a difficult concept for Americans to grasp, seeing as you've been brought up to think that the entire planet (and the moon) belongs to you. But the reality is this: it doesn't.

I wonder how Commie loving Apple leadership will react to being forced to submit to Communism.
Would be great to watch. They produce nothing but shit these days anyways.
Someone needs to take the resources they've hoarded and redistribute them.

>China will win this war
>Currently losing the war, which is why we're having this rhetoric come out

Ever since the trade war concerns started looming the Yuan has been declining. It's currently at a record 9 weeks of decline. Despite all the aggressions the dollar has only strengthened.

China is allowed to do business in the US without these kinds of barriers. Imagine how fucked China would be if the US operated the same way.

Trump is fighting for a fair playing field. If China doesn't want to play fair, tariffs and more is what happens.

why do you think tim cook met twith trump over dinner?

>Apple moves their factories to another country with cheaper labor

Good.
Fuck Apple for being sellouts to the chinks.

Yes, yes, yes, we need this. If the Dollar is finally dropped as the worlds reserve currency then the US will have to abandon 99% of its >1000 military bases in foreign countries.
The end of the Great Satan is near!

>They have stability and homogeneity at home
Are you completely fucking retarded. They have a current account deficit, they have 300% debt to GDP, they have social unrest daily in some city. The communist party is holding on by their fingernails.
Russia is the strongest country right now. they have 3 brand new gigantic pipelines shipping oil and gas to europe, right now they make about twice the money Saudi Arabia makes.
China on the other hand is the weakest country right now. Their economy is imploding left and right with excess capacity higher than anyone has ever seen before. No fucking way in hell they survive this.

Considering the reason they are doing this is becuase their exports are getting fucked, making them not an export economy, I’d call it the least bad option.

Yeah, they will do that like next week. LOL. If we were talking about doing that within a decade we might be realistic, but Apple would be fucked if China wants it to be fucked.

A retarded notion considering the yuan has strengthened against every other currency in the meantime.

Dollar strength = yuan weakness
But it also means everyone else weakness

Why would the dollar be dropped?

US military bases shutting down in foreign countries is also one of the last thing these foreign countries want. Sure most of them talk shit about the US, but all of them rely on US acting as the worlds police. Without the US they all know they're fucked. Instability and war would shortly follow, and many of these rich western countries have no military to speak of.

You have to be a nigger, you don’t seem to know anything about China.

Apple produces nothing in India and half their sales are Chinese.

Why would they move a $500 billion investment when China’s domestic market is huge?

Xi is saying this as a favor to Trump. With tarrifs and China now threatening profit sharing what better way to get Apple to bring jobs back to America.

>dude just move your factories lol

Are you really this retarded?

What American will work for $1 an hour? You want literal sweatshops in the USA?

Go back to snorting coke Latrino.

>America is incredibly divided and new fractures appear every day

This I actually agree with. The biggest obstacle for the U.S is themselves. If every U.S company stood up behind their own country they could've easily win the trade war. But right now it's a struggle.

Because Trump makes it a risky to use this currency. They sanction countries at will and completely ignore various deals they've made recently.
Russia, Turkey, China, Iran, India and many others are moving to use other currencies as we speak.

Did you guys know that there isn't a single cell phone that's made in the USA?

It's hard for me come up with anything that is made right now in the US and exported.
Maybe some weapons but that's about it.

The profit margins they make on their devices and computers is HUGE. Like 50 bucks to produce a 600 dollar product. Even if the cost to produce goes to $200, they still are making money hand over fist.

You have a point. In theory, the space force should be a bandage to those sores.

Daily reminder that the slant eye is not a person. Use extreme caution when dealing with them, they WILL try and deceive you.

This is really good for America.

For most products you use everyday, you can find made in the usa versions. But for cell phones, nope. Not a single american manufacturer.

How old are you...fucking 12? China has better chance at winning a conventional war than a trade war with the US. Take your stupid ass back to plebbit you meme flag faggot

We Russians live in peace with them bordering on China for centuries.
Russia - China border - best border we have.
#2 and #3 border: North Korea and Mongolia border.

based chinks are going to kill apple once and for all

Oh what a shame, couldn't have happened to a better corporation of whores and idiots. This is one hell of an ironic turn though, they threw themselves at China, thinking they'd be treated well. Now China is already using them like a commodity, fucking pottery.

their own fault for doing business with a communist shithole

>We Russians live in peace with them bordering on China for centuries.
wat

What's so surprising to you about that statement?

lmao
that's exactly what you don't want though
a huge part of the problem is that a strong dollar and weak yuan helps China
way to demonstrate to everyone here how much of an utter brainlet you are
Also, by your logic
>bellicose rhetoric = weakness
So by that logic Trump is the weakest president of al time. We both knwo that's not true. I think drumpfshits on this board overstate his power level, but he's not weak either. He's somewhere in the middle, using his own style. I admire that and an enjoying seeing where it goes.
But China is in the driver's seat here, not Trumpmerica.
Then block them. Fair's fair. I don't disagree with Trump's experiment, the tarriffs. That's fine. China has no god-given right to do biz in Murrkkka either. But it goes both ways.
The only ones decrying all of this in the short and medium term are (((businesses))). (((merchants))). Fuck em, they care not for the structure and future of nations.
It;s overstated by neocons. The large mass of Chinese people don't have much to be unhappy about. Basic economic issues, esp in the interior. But which country doesn't? China doesn't have stupid cultural wars going on, and almost all city people and most country people are overall very happy with their rapid rise in living standards. They don't care about democracy and free speech and things compared to increasing wealth and living standards. (typical muslim bullshit) and Tibet. Neither causes problems for the country overall, neither is anywhere near the great population centers or the economic and political power centers of the east coast.

China acts like Apple won’t take their Trillion dollars in market value and open up a brand new factory in South Korea while simultaneously flipping Xi the bird

Trump just does what he promised. Making US isolationist and pull out his military everywhere.
Best way to achieve that if no one likes you is to act so aggressively so all countries start to isolate vis a vis US.

The costs won’t go from $100 to $200, dumbass. They’ll go from $100 to $1000.

Average US factory wage is $30 an hour while China’s is $3 an hour.

No change. South Korea is property of Samsung. I'm not even joking here.
Also South Korea is super expensive already, where are you going to get the workers for that kind of business.
It's not like any random uneducated trucker could do such a job.

>No change
No chance

move those factories to Vietnam or the Philippines or any other asian country with cheap ass labor

Also, every foreign owned company in China will be re evaluating their business relationship with Chinese labor. Xi Jinping might be shooting himself in the foot by promising foreign investors a good business opportunity and instead nationalizing their profits. Companies are already weary about sharing their IP with the ChiComs.

Nope.

This, or just move completely to Taiwan, which would be a bigger insult.

Yep, because you can just pick up and move a trillion dollars of factories. That’s how things work.

Now where would Apple find 1.5 billion sweatshop workers? Indians cannot produce anything of value.

No we'll export it to you poor Latin American fucks.
Fuck China I want to see more "Hencho en Mexico" shit

CHING CHONG DING DONG
TIME TO PAY UP APPLE MAN
WE WANT GIBS

Lmao, I hope they crash apple and since macs aren’t built with third parties repair ability in mind mactoddlers will be left with inoperable junk in a matter of months.
Go china.

Based. Any company doing biz in china is also required to share their proprietary tech with the communist regime.

Yes, we want to go in there and replace American influence in Asia.

I seriously doubt that considering it's where they make all their shit.

Okay, then explain to me why that hasn’t happened yet. China’s wages are ten times Vietnam’s.

Why hasn’t Apple moved its investments? If your logic is so sound, then why?

Why shouldn't they be made to do this? The US patent system is exactly the same thing.

youtube.com/watch?v=9Uc3V8NxKWw

Okay? Are you ready to pay four/five times as much for it?

China's economy is 1/4 the size of the American economy, junior. They're not in a position to win anything.

Found the wu mao dang. Nice meme flag, rice-faggot.

KEK!!!!!!!!

S 0 y 1 m TECH FAGGOTS GET DESTROYED

I don't know if that's such a good idea, can you get high by sniffing on the materials used?

I agree with this in principle but only if the profit sharing is a direct dividend to each individual citizen rather than a lump sum to the government. Rootless global corporations like Apple should always be squeezed for as much as possible everywhere they do business. If not, what's the point in having a national union of citizens in the first place?

this. Apple only does assembly in China, which can easily be moved elsewhere.

the chinese really, really, really like iphones. Especially the urban elite that the chinese dont want to piss off. Blocking selling them in China will hurt the chinese more.

Let me get this straight.
>Apple supports communism
>Apple censors the Right
>Apple got rich off of capitalism
>Apple is in a communist country
They must be very happy to pay taxes because the support communism, right?
>Apple doesn't pay taxes
...

They are state run by China now. All icloud user data is handled by China now.

China’s GDP is 72% the size of the USA’s in dollar terms and twice as large in PPP terms.

Now let’s see who has an election in November and in 2020 where the economy is the most important subject.

>and twice as large in PPP terms.
No.

If china actually goes through with what was proposed by their media in the OP, I guarantee you they will pull out.

Boy, you've got some phantasy there. Next you'll claim there will be a Chinese revolution because you can't buy iPhones anymore in China.
Only in Anglo-land.

the urban elites are the only demographic that china has not pissed off internally severely yet. chinese elites consume american media, use iphones and listen to american music. taking those away will not be a popular move.

>easily moved elsewhere
If that’s true, why has it not happened yet?

Africa has a tenth the wages. India has a fifth. Vietnam and Cambodia and Indonesia are next door and their wages are lower than Africa’s.

Maybe you fucking idiots are forgetting something crucial.

Apple is too big of a bitch to do that. Everyone wants China money. Everyone. They'd go running through smog-covered Beijing to appease to the Chinese authorities.

sunk cost, mostly. if push comes to a shove, its easy to move.

>paying more tax will make Apple abandon $1 trillion of investments in the world’s biggest consumer of iPhone junk

Jow Forums, you guys really are something else entirely. The economic illiteracy here is amazing.

Will this effect my iphone

>chinese elites consume american media, use iphones and listen to american music. taking those away will not be a popular move.
Yes, yes, you must be absolutely day dreaming here. Chinese people are so Nationalist, you have no idea.

China doesn't have culture wars?

It's pinning down it's Muslims, and any mass growing regions factions, Taiwan doesn't even believe it's a part of China a few other regions as well.

>China’s GDP is 72% the size of the USA’s in dollar terms

The chinese can make their GDP figures anything they please, and they do.

cullancy manipuration, wikiboi

Wait, sunk cost explains the reason why Apple is INCREASING its investment in China? Not decreasing. INCREASING

Bill Clinton gave the Chinese 2 decades to destroy the US Ecsronomy when he signed off on the massively one sided Nafta deal, theuv3 basically rebuilt the8r country and everything else on the back of that deal. And now they bitch about tariffs.
What where they expecting , to eventually bankrupt the US and walk in and take over the keys of country ?
