ULisa Jackson noTim Cook bamenyelwe esidlweni sakusihlwa e-White House

Lesi senzo sikhombisa futhi ukubaluleka kwe-Apple ezicini ezithile zomnotho waseMelika, ngalokhu angisho ukuthi iyinsika eyisisekelo, akunjalo, kodwa ngendlela ethile kunomthelela ezinqumweni eziqinile ngenxa yenani elikhulu lemali elihambisa le nkampani.

Kangangokuba noMengameli uBarack Obama umeme isimemezelo se-Apple CEO uTim Cook nePhini likaMongameli we-Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, uLisa Jackson idili lesidlo sakusihlwa elihlonipha umongameli waseChina, ovakashelwe ngokomthetho e-United States.

Kulo mhlangano i-Apple ibingenye yezinkampani ezingama-200 ezinethonya elikhulu kule mboni ezihlangane kulo mhlangano, phakathi kwazo bekukhona iFacebook noMark Zuckerberg egameni likaMicrosoft kanye noMphathi wayo oyinhloko, uSatya Nadella nabanye. Ngokusho kwemibhalo ehlukene, izingxoxo ezazibanjwe nomongameli ayeqondiswe ukuthi athuthukise ukuphepha kwezwe maqondana nobumfihlo bedatha, ngoba i-Apple ngokusobala iphikisana nokugcina idatha kumaseva wase-China ngenxa yokuntula kwayo amandla phezu kwawo.

Konke lokhu kuvele ngokususelwa ezinkingeni zakamuva ezivele kuleli sonto lapho Onjiniyela eChina ungahlosile ilande inguqulo eguquliwe ebizwa ngeXcodeGhost kufakwe i-malware, okuvela kuyo ukuthi izinhlelo zokusebenza ezinonya zalayishwa kamuva ku-iOS App Store.

Lokhu kwenzeke ngoba inguqulo entsha yeXcode isingathwe kumaseva ase-United States, ngakho-ke eChina ukulanda bekuhamba kancane, lokhu kukhuthaze onjiniyela ukuthi baphendukele kuzinguqulo ezinesivinini sokulanda esisheshayo kusuka emithonjeni engekho emthethweni esingethwe kumaseva wokugcina amafu aqhutshwa yiBaidu. Ekugcineni i-Apple kuye kwadingeka inikeze futhi iqinisekise ukuthi inguqulo elandelayo izosingathwa kumaseva aseChina.

Sizobona ukuthi lo mhlangano unemiphumela emihle yini enkampanini kusukela ku-malware futhi ukwenziwa kwezicelo akuvumelekile benza umonakalo omkhulu esithombeni se-Apple njengo "exponent wokugcina" wohlelo oluphephile.
