Lol. It never ceases to amaze me that people are stupid enough to watch this guy.

Regardless, you are required to present your own commentary.
Your excuses are your own...denial of the truth is your prerogative and may be your behavioral characteristic.

Says the Tucker Carlson watcher. Lol.
Apple's collusion with China goes back many years and was reported in many news services including CNN (Crank News Network) and linked here on AnandTech..perhaps you embrace such associations.

You do realize that Tucker Carlson lies to you for a living and these people are privately laughing at how gullible you are, right?

Seriously - conservative media has nothing but contempt for you. They think you are stupid. Are they right?

What garbage are we supposed to be discussing here? I'm not watching a Wormtongue clip just bc some poster is too lazy to write their own comment.

In a similar track, I think China's foolish zero covid response also undermines the nutty right wing conspiracy that they intentionally created covid as a bioweapon against the West.

Carlson has peddled so many stupid conspiracies you can only conclude the worst about the intelligence of his viewers.

Apple is the new bugbear of the right because Musk is pissed off at them.

Back to OP,

Can't speak for all the reasons, but China's early success with avoiding mass outbreak is proving to be a trap.

Corruption and paranoia keep them from getting effective vaccines, and fear keeps them from developing any natural resistance and being able to shift out of pandemic mode.

For the rest of the world that has, the pandemic is over and we've returned to normal life. Yes, covid is not extinct, but we are effectively living with it.

I don't watch CNN (or any television new, for that matter) so the joke's on them, haha.

You on the other hand clearly watch Fox and yes, they have nothing but contempt for you.

So basically you're making the argument that Apple complies with local regulations? Do you think other companies do not? Is Apple specifically bad and goes further than it has to? Why is Apple being singled out at this point in time?

people think Crank News Network is witty or even slightly funny? the right sucks at humor because they are dense.

Maybe repeating it 5 more times will do the trick.

If not, they always have GUTFELD!

Just look at that font. If that's not hilarious, what is?

Apple's being singled out because Elon Musk singled them out and conservatives have decided he on the team so now they have to attack Apple.

It's really weird, almost childlike behavior but like I've said before conservatism is basically 100% identity politics so this is really all they have.

Good question...you should pursue that line of questioning. At this point we have NO idea how far reaching Apple's collusion is with China and weather or not they are extending their collusion across the globe. Care to fault on the side of safety??

3/10 in your attempt to dodge. Same questions as before see if you can answer them.

Then go buy a Samsung and quit bitching if you are so concerned.

IDK about Samsung/China, but I'm confident the Koreans aren't controlling the weather.

I mean there's lots to criticise about Apple but Musk is definitely not in a place to do it. Or republicans, unless they want to start a constructive debate on the failings of capitalism.
