UTim Cook (kwesokudla) uhleli eduze kukaMengameli okhethwe nguMengameli uDonald Trump noPeter Thiel engqungqutheleni yezobuchwepheshe kaTrump eNew York ngenyanga edlule.
Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemuva kokuthi umongameli osanda kukhethwa wase-United States, uDonald Trump, eqale isikhathi sakhe, senza ukubuyekeza okufushane kokuthi lolu hambo olusha lungasho ukuthini enkampanini yaseCalifornia, ibekwe ngokucacile ngokumelene nayo selokhu kwaqala ukhetho lwama-Republican.
Ukuphathwa okusha, okuzoqala ezinsukwini ezimbalwa (ngemuva kokuphela kwesikhathi sika-Obama ngesonto eledlule), kumemezele ukuduba izinkampani zikazwelonke ezifana ne-Apple noma -Google njengengxenye yecebo lakhe lokunqoba ukhetho lwezwe elinamandla amakhulu emhlabeni. Imvamisa, i-Apple ithembela kuyo kanye nezimbangi zayo ezinkulu ukwenza noma ukuphula imikhiqizo yayo emisha unyaka nonyaka. Kepha u-2017 uqala ngokukhubazeka okusha: umongameli omusha wase-United States, uDonald Trump.
I-Apple izoba no-2017 omatasatasa: Ama-iPhones amasha, mhlawumbe ama-iPads amasha, mhlawumbe ama-iMacs amasha, izibuyekezo ezihlukile zomkhiqizo ... Ezingeni lezezimali, izofuna ukubuyela endleleni yokukhula kwezezimali ngemuva kuka-2016 kubi kakhulu kunalokho obekulindelwe. Futhi ngukuthi ngonyaka odlule, imali engenayo yehle okokuqala ngqa kusukela ngo-2001, futhi ezinye izinhloso ezibekwe yinkampani yaseMelika, ezinze eCupertino, azizange zifezwe.
Kepha i-Apple kulo nyaka izoba nesikhubekiso esisha okufanele isinqobe. UDonald Trump uphikisana nezinqubomgomo eziningi zebhizinisi ezigcinwa yi-Apple namuhlaNjengombono wakhe wokugcina ukukhiqizwa kwamanye amazwe, isibonelo, into umongameli weRiphabhulikhi ayithandi nhlobo. Eqinisweni, ekuqaleni kukaJanuwari wonyaka odlule, uTrump wamemezela enkulumweni yakhe:
"Sizothumela i-Apple ukuthi iqale ukwakha amakhompyutha ayo aluhlaza nezinto kuleli, esikhundleni sokuyenza kwamanye amazwe."
Mhlawumbe ikusasa lenkampani yaseCalifornia ukwakha ifektri kwenye indawo e-United States, ngezintela ezithile ezikhethekile, bese ukhohlwa ngabalingani bakho abancane abancane (UFoxconn noPegatron). UTrump ukhulume neNew York Times ngomqondo awuphakamise kuTim Cook, oyi-CEO yamanje yakwa-Apple, ukwakha "isitshalo esikhulu e-United States" sokwenza i-hardware yalolu hlobo. Kodwa-ke, sesivele sinesandulela salo mbono nge -Google, okwazama ngo-2013 ukudala isitshalo sokwenza i-hardware kusuka ku- Samsung eTexas futhi, ngemuva konyaka, ivaliwe ngokungenakuphikwa.
Kodwa-ke, i-Apple isivele yaqala eminyakeni edlule ngalo mbono. Kusukela ngo-2012, amanye ama-iMac enziwe emafemini asekhaya, kanti iMac Pro entsha manje isenziwa e-Austin, eTexas. Konke lokhu, empeleni, kuzoncika enteleni esungulwe esinyathelweni ngasinye senqubo, kanye namanani entengo okukhiqizwa kwamanye amazwe.
Futhi, yenkampani eyenza imali eningi njenge-Apple, Noma ikuphi ukusika okwenziwa nguhulumeni omusha weRiphabhulikhi enteleni yezinkampani kungaba izindaba ezinhle kakhulu. UTim Cook uyakwazi futhi mhlawumbe akuyona yonke into embi ngoDonald Trump njengomongameli kahulumeni wenkampani yaseNyakatho Melika.
Ukukhula kwemali engenayo unyaka nonyaka emalini etholwe yinkampani yama-apula alumayo ikakhulu kungenxa yokwanda kwayo iye eChina. Hhayi ngenxa yokuthengisa ezweni lase-Asia, kodwa ngenxa yomugqa wokukhiqiza onenzuzo owenziwe lapho. Ukukhuphula amanani entela aphesheya kanye / noma ukonakalisa ubudlelwano neChina kungalimaza wonke umsebenzi owenziwe kuze kube manje.
Futhi konke lokhu kungadala "umphumela obuyile": ukuduba izwe lase-Asia hhayi kuphela imikhiqizo ye-Apple, kodwa kunoma yimuphi umkhiqizo odabuka eNyakatho Melika.
Njengoba sibona, ukuhweba izimpi nezinqubomgomo zentela ezingavuna kakhulu noma zonakalise izinhloso zaminyaka yonke zenye yezinkampani ezinamandla kakhulu emhlabeni. Ukufika kukamongameli omusha okhethiwe ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kuletha, uma kungabaza, amathuba amasha nezithiyo ezintsha. Sizobona ukuthi yonke inhlanganisela yezimali yaseMelika iguqukela kanjani kulo nyaka.
