Apple asks Foxconn to move iPad, MacBook production from China to Vietnam
GeorgeBMac said:22july2013 said:I see Apple is moving up, from doing business with a country that gets 2.26 (out of 10) on the democracy index (China) to a country that gets 3.06 (Viet Nam). I would much rather see Apple do its business in a higher scoring country, perhaps India (6.90) or Brazil (6.86.) I guess Apple's core values don't include freedom or democracy or human rights. Well, at least they aren't doing business with North Korea (1.08), or Saudi Arabia (1.93). I guess Apple wouldn't do business with Saudi Arabia because Apple has strong LGBTQ values.

By the way, on environmental indexes, Viet Nam is near the bottom. Although India is even closer to the bottom.

I couldn't care less what form of government a country chooses for itself. And, as business people, Apple should be concerned with product quality and cost rather than politics.
Apple cares a lot about politics...up until the point where it affects their bottom line negatively.
