You are naive if you think there aren’t Zuckerberg and Dorsey equivalents working with the CCP over there.Their state spies and censors but they don’t want private companies collecting data on citizens because that data can be taken by a foreign country to spy on them.
That is how western social media platforms collected data and sold it to criminals and political operatives. The west is still allowing this crooked activity because our prostitute politicians take money from lobbies and donors.
In China they have weaker lobbying and they learn from western mistakes so they can reach their long term goals of stable growth. If they had a Zuckerberg or Dorsey screwing their society those two people would have been jailed long time ago.
I don’t think so…he’s content with the $$$ Apple is earning.It must be annoying for Tim to be China's lapdog.
You must be mistaken. Tim doing what's best for Apple's shareholders, not what's best for China. China happens to be the motherload of Yuan, so he's bending over, taking one for the team so Apple can make obscene amounts of $$$.It must be annoying for Tim to be China's lapdog.
Credible source?The issue appears to be that Didi denied to share data with the government agency and now suffers the consequences.
Funny to see how Apple is now a victim of its own locked walled garden, with a open system this wouldn't have happened. Locked-in systems with a single point of failure gives shady governments the possibility to request app removals.
Communist in name only, it's a front... it was capitalism that brought China to where it is now... Think about it, think about how much they produce and sell to the world...Since when the Chinese government is concerned about its citizen privacy? The issue appears to be that Didi denied to share data with the government agency and now suffers the consequences. It is absurd. China in general is absurd country. It is absolutely crazy that the soon to be the most powerful economy in the world, is communist regime led by a single party, without any form of elections or democracy. We definitely need Trump again.

Just count down from 5….5 years that is. BTW please don’t include me in your “we”.And ofc Comrade Timmy willing gets on his knees and bows to his Chinese Masters. Smh. This despicable CEO has no integrity whatsoever. The sooner he is gone from Apple the better off we'll all be
If China tells Apple to do this then Apple has to do it.
Quick Tim, do it!
Not really keywords. Uber China is under the Didi umbrella. Uber backed out of the Chinese market years ago.Key words: “Uber rival”
So does the big greedy Apple, their privacy efforts are purely to generate revenue, and not because they care about you.China doesn’t care about privacy. This is purely political.

Once it stop working out, they will run over the data they collected all those years under their privacy cover, if they aren’t doing this already silently, because soon they will introduce their own advertising network. Their goal is to partly kill Googles ad network, then take it over, simply to get a cut of it (Embrace, extend, and extinguish).
They also don’t care about jobs in your country, that’s why they manufacture primarily in China, India like any other company.
Apple is a purely revenue driven company.
Thinking Apple cares about you, or about your privacy, is like having sex with a whore and think she really loves you(Sorry for the ones who likes Pretty Woman the movie).
