Year over year, we read that Apple had dropped in popularity in China, so this news sounds pretty awesome.
Only people who read spin believe it. Apple's share in the smartphone market drops, but that includes more and more cheap phones that are feature phone replacements.
Apple's sales are steadily growing, hardly a sign of falling popularity, particularly when comparing a long lived high quality device with short lived junk; users of junk phones probably go through two or more phones before people on average replace their iPhone.

There will always be voids. Analysts can make up sh1t just so Apple can respond.
No one has said Apple should respond to analysts. Read.
Whats there not to get?
Econ 101, apparently.
And who would they respond to? Each individual shareholder? Or only the hedge fund mgrs?
Each individual shareholder?
No.

They should exercise their judgement. That's what they're frackin' paid to do. The right judgment is not 'nobody, ever.'
Maybe I'm not seeing your point. Apple uses its own judgement to not respond to rumors. Case closed.
Is the writer saying that Chinese carriers will drop their current method and adopt the Japanese method?
