    You should reevaluate your relationship with any company that submits to this request.
    Will Applepay in China fall under these rules?

    I’m not sure it matters, as long as Apple sticks to their guns.

    I doubt any press releases will announce the ones who cooperate. Guess we'll see who gets the OK from China to pursue their projects there.

    WTO cannot afford to not have China.  It's too big to be kicked out.  If China got kicked out of WTO, countries around China will leave WTO with China and form another trade organization.  It'll be a disaster for everyone.

    The WTO existed before China, it would exist after.

    Sure. It would exist, but have far less influence if China choose to leave and form another trade organisation of its own.

     

    Chinese call themselves "Central Country". They make rules for others to play. They do not play western rules.

    LOL... Sure they do. A vast chunk of their economy is dependent on US trade.

    Aww, how cute. It’s like a larger scale version of the delusion exhibited in North Korea.

    I’m trying to think of one… not coming to me.

     

    They do not play western rules. 


     

    Which is why they attacked Taiwan and expanded northward a long time ag… what’s that? They would have had their infrastructure leveled? How about that.

    But that is the true meaning of China in Chinese. Central Kingdom (of the world).

     

    If Apple wants to do business in China, it has to follow the rules made by the country which are often significantly difficult to be understood by general western awareness. If not, Apple has to leave. But you know that is not gonna happen because the company simply cannot afford. Google is the live example of how things could go wrong. The company distribute android for google ad but more than half of them simply use android shell but no google service (means reduced income source). (2014 Q4 smartphone shipment: 205.56M Global vs 111M China source: ABI)

     

    For me this is an simple choice: Money. Existing customers are gonna hurt? Well then please tell me what is the consequence if Apple customers are upset about the move that Apple has made? Choose Android? No. they are not gonna do that.

    A bunch of symbols is gobbledegook to me.

    I'm fine with Apple allowing China as much backdoor access as they like.

    It's a different culture in China.
