If it's the same, why you don't go to live in China ?...
It's not the same, the subtlety must have been lost on you, I was born in a country that is supposed to be free of tyranny. Commerce, in its Wall Street jacket is a tyrant.

Apparently the Chinese government didn't get the memo about Foxconn's record profits.
Do the Chinese public buy into this crap? I see something on CNN or any news really, and I don't believe it until I've seen multiple sources, and then I'm still cynical. If the Chinese government was in charge of my news, I'd never believe anything they ever reported. Do the Chinese public actually listen and believe what is said on state run media? I would think state run media would almost be a joke to the general population that it serves.
Man, I'm so glad I live in a country where the government doesn't run the media
China has changed our economy (think about how many items in your house are "Made in China" versus 10-15 years ago), and not for the better.
China likes our money, but isn't our friend. Not to sound paranoid, but people forget that communism's long range goal is to rule the world. This has been put in the back seat for many years, but it is still very much a goal of China.

China is in a different position now, but this is what happened the last time Chinese went against foreigners:

Its kind of interesting to see Chinese government attempting to resist the Apple rush.

A lot of Western countries have state broadcasters/media - even the United States:
Canada - CBC
UK - BBC
France - AFP (Partially)
USA - Voice of America....

1. As CNET reports, it is alleged that Apple repairs iPhones by only swapping defective parts, instead of swapping entire units - which they do in other countries. Macworld.co.uk corroborates this:
"The programme claimed that Apple is breaking Chinese law by not replacing damaged iPhones with a completely new model. It maintained that Apple replaces parts of the iPhone but returns it with the old phones back cover"
If this claim is true, if Apple really do repairs rather than full unit swaps, this means that the entire service process takes longer - for the customer. Customers have to wait longer to get their working iPhones back.
Foxconn is a Taiwanese company.
Yes, they have vast manufacturing facilities in the People's Republic, but ultimately the profits go back to the ROC.
