  1. Who the F cares about the new IPhone when in this moment the Chinese people is rejecting the Covid-19 policies.

  2. Two more years of Biden! Way too late to start preparing! LMAO

  3. These people are slaves and NBC only cares if they'll get more Iphones 💀

  4. Omg 😱 the I phones what are we going to do what a joke this company is

  5. We don't need more iPhones, we need better treatment for the Chinese people.

  6. Going on holding with one blanket of paper would be stronger than violent protests. Because there's the society in
    Chinese character. In Japan, also we call it 'white proxy'.

  7. This will get deadly, if the Chinese government continue this insanity

  8. Oh no…. You might not get your iPhone! Does anyone think this is about a pay dispute? if you do, you are not paying attention and NBC is colluding with the CCP to NOT cover the real story.

  9. Well it is a US and Taiwanese company. 🤣

  10. Oh Heavens Forbid these slaves in Foxconn Concentration Camps “disrupt” the supply chain with their insolence. Anything but that! 🤦‍♂️

  11. Honestly we shouldn't be doing business with China while the CCP is running it.

  12. Nobody cares about the iPhone 14 people care about other people's well being. Screw apple

  13. If we still did our own manufacturing we wouldn't need to worry about this.

  14. Always happens during holidays in china…blame western consumers

  15. Chinese people becoming conservative and tired of socialism! COVID was unleashed right when the US economy was doing the best in decades- low unemployment, low inflation, reasonable gas prices, etc. China's public is suddenly sounding like conservatives did in the US who knew that the lockdowns were absolute BS, and are tired of government controlling every aspect of your life. Socialists/Democrats shut down the economy all over the world, which led us to where we are now.

  16. This is a good reason for supply chain disruption. This is a truly oppressed people fighting for their rights and the media should be focused on their struggles rather than crying around because Apple products will be in short supply

  17. Wow worry about your phone supply more than freedom, this is about communism it's time for such a garbage system to go away

  18. Who cares about the new iPhone. The media is so disconnected from US citizen values.

  19. They will comply in 3 days good slaves… used to the lifestyle of oppression they don’t know anything else. Like a prisoner that did 60 years sentence, when let go he goes back cause that’s all he knows to normalcy in his mind..

  20. USA 1,104,751 Fatalities from believing American Covid Conspiracies and Pandemic mismanagement

    UK 196,821

    CHN 5,233 Fatalities when using Masks, Vaccines and Lock downs

    NZ 3,239

  21. The politicians should be the ones physically facing the riots, that'll be fair.

  22. This is the most mainstream media headline ever lmao. Not one bit of sympathy for the people in China, just worries about iPhone supply 😂

  23. US and China are very similar. Both governments brainwash their citizens and both are bent upon world domination. Both are controlled by horrible politicians and billionaires.

  24. Who cares about the supply chain. These people are fighting for their future and the right to democracy. END THE CCP NOW!! ✊️

  25. Tim Cook seems to have all the answers,

  26. All major US and European companies have fled

  27. like cupheads saying goes "i aint to worried about it"

  28. Keep protesting. don't stop.

  29. Rising defiance in China, it is about time. Good Luck

  30. Imagine you're at work, and the government comes and locks all the doors and says you can't leave… that's China.. that's what they want in the United States

  31. Funny how Government Workers can walk freely but everyone else can spread Covid… Must have a Special CCP Immunity…

  32. CCP deploying army as we speak. There’s going to be a lot of dead protestors very soon, until you step back into line.

    You were all so proud of China’s prosperity, their zero covid and proud of communism. Now you’ll find out how naive you were. It’s too late for an uprising. The CCP monitors all your communication now, try and coordinate a revolution now.

  33. Oh well, we need to stop relying on other countries for our wellbeing. We used to manufacture in America on a greater scale.

  34. Stop buying into the I phone fanatics There are plenty good products not apple

  35. Hold on but why are we still depending on these yahoos to build OUR country

  36. Thank you for your attention to China, which can indirectly save the Chinese people ,We have been oppressed
