  1. BIG companies like force and cheap labour what a SHAME on humanity.

  2. one million American died from covid in America! human rights at its best!!!!!!!

  3. Tim Cook is in bed with China, that is why he is silent! Are you serious?

  4. Why don’t they question Elon Musk the same way? His wealth is 20~35% coming from the “Chinese market”(CCP) and he keeps raving about how great they are

  5. Tim Cook is an entrepreneur who, like his Chinese counterparts and Musk, is not willing to take sides in a political confrontation. Many Chinese entrepreneurs are also reluctant to take sides between China and the United States. Because this will affect the interests of these companies, just as many countries in the world are reluctant to take sides between the United States and China, do not want to join the camp confrontation. I don't know much about politics. I can only analyze from a personal point of view. I will use whatever works well and meets my needs. For example: I never use Huawei products, even though they are made in China, they are not as good as Apple products in terms of cost performance.

  6. Apple's products are the best in the world. My watch, mobile phone and computer are all made by Apple, and the quality of the products is also the best in the world. I never use Android products, because they are very difficult to use for a long time. I haven't used a windows computer in 10 years. As an IT industry practitioner, most of my working environment is based on linux and unix platforms, and Apple Computer Office is undoubtedly the most perfect. As a Chinese, I will continue to support Apple's products. If Apple launches an electric car and sells it in mainland China, I will buy it first.

  7. Prophecy coming to past. It is the Lord thy God that is exposing all of them for its harvest Time he's not a God that he will be mocked we all reap what we sow judgment and Justice of God is at all their doors hallelujah to the Lamb of God. The glory be to God forever and ever.Amen!

  8. Tim Cook is a dictator. Xi is a dictator. Like attracts like. Down with Apple. Stop buying Apple.

  9. Tim Cook ? You mean the CCP slave ? You mean the American who try to sell off his own country ? Want to help Tim Cook and his gang in Beijing ? Buy FAKE IN CHINA.

  10. Apple, Walmart and many other American companies made China a superpower

  11. Don't you pitty cook stew I'll lose all respect for you if you pitty cook now. He knew what he was doing. Don't go soft now stew you're better than this

  12. It is like Amercians bad day.

  13. The slaves stopped working, even if you beat them. At the iPhone factory the suicide nets have been busy. Its no secret things were going sideways in China for awhile now. The best Apple can hope for now is to take the 100% loss on China, and if there lucky get their people out alive. Next, as Apple did not diversify out of China, Apple will have to build new factories and supply chains, that takes time, should have listened to Trump. There will be much larger shortages of all things Apple for the next few years, Tim Cook wont be talking about that.

  14. He is silent because he only cares about money

  15. Don Lemon another Turd. Eggs thrown at king by Megan causes egg shortage at Walmart. Stock up now before its too late.

  16. Even though there are things I dislike about Apple such as the accessories removals. I’m honestly worried how he’ll deal with the protests on China that will result in short supply and potential high demand. This’s why I’m unable to upgrade but buy a refurbished iPhone.

  17. There's nothing hard about it. There is only one choice. And Tim Cook chooses the sleezy way.

  18. Tim Cook’s a Freak show

  19. When a thug country is giving you billions a yr. Cook will remain silent! Biden is supporting Chins Fentanyl empire !! He doesn't care if they are killing our kids!

  20. He's silent about it because he serves the Chinese government that and he's a spineless piece of crap

  21. I'm not a fan of what Tim Cook is doing…. but if I were in his position and had the same ties to China, I would be treading lightly as well. He is in a very interesting and dangerous spot. By his owning doing of course, but still.

  22. Why is Fox Business silent on Trump's companies having just been FOUND GUILTY OF CRIMINAL TAX FRAUD???
    Just kidding. We all know why 🙂

  23. As a Apple Stock holder the Apple board of directors need to replace TIM COOK. the behavior pattern of censorship and anti free speech
    Is no longer in the best interest of the stock holder.. APPLE CLEAN HOUSE FIRE TIM COOK

  24. Hes a china loving wef clown..

  25. Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $9,000 investment every 15days.

  26. Cook is silent because he’s in bed with China, c’mon man! Some one just say it on the news already.

  27. Why is Tim walking around free like that stinking FTX kid ? Guys like them ought to chap peoples a$$ enuff to jail ‘em.

  28. When you get confronted by your biases and hypocrisies, Tim Cook's speechless reaction is what you would expect, because you cannot defend what is impossible to defend.

  29. Because Apple guilty of slave labor there. One province in China that makes the iPhones shut down because they went on strike and protest to Covid. So Cook is over there appeasing the Chinese government in order to get them back to work. The only thing Apple will notice and act on, is bleeding money.

  30. He doesn’t want to visit with future voters?

  31. Tim Cook is a typical corporate sell out.
    Apple has a net worth of 2.450 Trillion.
    Do they need to cave in to China?
    Even if they never sell another phone, they'd still get a good return to investors just by investing their net worth. Berkshire Hathaway does it with about 1/10th their value.

  32. Why is Lebron James silent on china? Why is the NBA silent on China? Why is anyone who makes a ton of money silent on China? When you criticize the Saudi’s and then praise China, does that make sense. These people will sell their souls to China to make money.

  33. Tim Cook sold his company and soul to the great Evil, China.

  34. Tim Cook is a Chinese sympathizer and he will pay in the future if he doesn’t denounce the chicoms!

  35. Must be a Chinese agent, like Elon and LeBron. Hey, did Ivanka ever put to work the trade licenses that China fast-tracked for her?

  36. It's money folks Tim Cook is a sell out

  37. Because his profit margin on apple products will suffer if he bites the hand that gives him low labor costs

  38. Simply put he needs to kiss the Chinese Arse

  39. This mf is bought and sold. Probably has a suicide probe implanted in his body so suicide ain’t his choice but will certainly seem like it if he steps out of line

  40. If you buy apple you support China

  41. Trump buys all his hotel stuff from China.

  42. So, this a new question and you have a new answer? Ricky Gervais years ago, at the Golden Globes Awards with Tim Cook in attendance said in front of the world: ""Apple rolled into the TV game with a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing, made by a company that runs sweatshops in China,"
