Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to talk with lawmakers visiting Hollywood and Silicon Valley in the coming week, with China being the subject of conversation.
Apple CEO Tim Cook
The group of lawmakers will be arriving in Hollywood on Wednesday, as part of a three-day trip to speak to high-level executives. A bipartisan delegation led by Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI), chairman of the new House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, the eleven-member group will also visit tech executives later in the journey.
The trip is "intended to just hear mostly from [executives] about how they're thinking about various issues," an aide told Axios. With China being the main topic of conversation, the talks will apparently be held privately and intended to be constructive without any legislative agenda.
Lawmakers will speak to Disney CEO Bob Iger on Wednesday, along with producers, former studio executives, and screenwriters. On Thursday, they will meet with Silicon Valley leaders including Microsoft president Brad Smith, Alphabet president of global affairs and chief legal officer Kent Walker, and other experts and venture capitalists.
Cook will meet with the lawmakers on Friday. With Cook's recent visit to the China Development Forum, it is likely that the lawmakers and the CEO will have a lot to talk about.
During the summit, Cook met with China's commerce minister Wang Wentao and discussed plans to stabilize industrial and supply chains. Cook also spoke at the summit itself, praising the "symbiotic" 30-year relationship between Apple and China.

cook: “but but but… more money! Sure we handed over data centers and invested 275 billion dollars into an actual evil communist dictatorship, but it’s good for our checkbooks.”

Sure, it's just spying on China's Android users, and sure, the Chinese government would never acquire that data...but, concerning nonetheless.
I won't be one of those users, needless to state, and we in the U.S. won't be able to download the app Pindoudou app through the Google App Store.
This is the part where you link to backup your statement, or I won't recognize your "truth", and I certainly didn't make that statement about Amazon, nor did the article that I linked.
The increasing housing unaffordability gap in all of the English speaking countries across the world the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand for people between 17 and 45, the hostility towards building infrastructure, particularly infrastructure needed by the majority of people, particularly in transportation (the rail systems), hospitals, schools those things are not on China. Those are internal problems, and last, but not least a free-for-all gun problem in America, which is a whole other story and that ain’t China’s fault either.
It all seems like a “Ball of Confusion”, or “the new boss is the same as the old”.
China probably operates in ways similar to Apple's restrictions on their products never being used by bad guys or shown in any potentially negative scenario, but by magnitudes more. It's a difficult to navigate flattening of the playing field with China now insisting they be treated only in positive ways, just as in the past the US was traditionally seen as the good guys.
