Every day it is clearer, if possible, that Apple cares a lot about China. If at first it was the battle for achieve the elimination of tariffs, now we see how the American company has had a couple of very pleasant gestures with the Asian country.
First, Apple removed and then re-supported a rather controversial app for China. It has now become known through a report that The guidelines on Apple TV + productions were that when the country was mentioned, it should be treated “softly”.
Apple does not want to anger China. His gestures give him away
That Apple wants to take over the Chinese market is not a novelty. What if it is new, are the actions that the American company has taken and is taking to satisfy the leaders of the eastern country in order not to lose market.
A few days ago we knew the news about an app which might not be meeting the standards of the App Store and therefore the decision was made to remove it. What we did not expect is that it would be accepted in the market again. Some decisions that neither one nor the other liked.
We now know that Apple in 2018 told developers of select original Apple TV + programs, that they did not portray China in a bad way. All eyes point to the order came directly by Vice President of Internet Software and Services, Eddy Cue also responsible for Apple TV +.
Deep down, Apple's position is understandable. Most of the multinational companies that operate on Chinese soil want to gain a foothold among national companies, something that is already very difficult, with a population that tends more to its own than to others. In addition, the Chinese government largely decides who can operate on sovereign soil and at what capacity.
It is logical that Apple wants to keep Chinese users happy, but especially to its leaders who are the ones who decide in the first place, what can and cannot be done.
