Earlier this year, Apple announced plans to open a new research and testing lab in Shenzhen, China, with a focus on core products like the iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro headset. The facility was set to launch in the second half of 2024, and it seems everything is on track.
Super sketchy a tech company expanded into the largest and wealthiest consumer base on the planet?
With no regard for IP and is a hostile Nation state to the US, where Apple is HQ’ed.
Every good nation is politically hostile to the US, it’s history of genocide and unrestrained war makes it a social pariah that is only tolerated by countries so that they don’t get invaded.
That being said Apple is headquartered in Ireland like all multinational tech companies. It was founded in the US, but legally it’s an Irish company.
Also that no regard for IP thing mostly affects foreign IP, you can just apply for a Chinese patent and get legal protection there, China just doesn’t trust other countries patent and IP protection processes, which is especially fair for the US, the land of patent and copyright trolls.
You should make your account on .ml or hexbear, you’ll fit right in! What a ridiculous take.
If you live anywhere in the west, sounds like you should move to a more aligned country and see how you like it.
No, people fleeing their country instead of improving it tend to be liberals and other such conservatives.

Ireland, thanks to it’s tax haven status, is home to most US tech companies. https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/7/22715229/ireland-status-tax-haven-google-facebook-apple
Did you read the source?
Apple Inc is a US company and the headquarters of the entire group.
As an American who subsizes this shit… Yes bro it is concerning that a parasite is gonna transfer technology to a geo political rival. This is geopolitics 101.
We already gone through this over last 30 years…
So unless there is something I am missing, this mega Corp is whoring around and should b checked for this misconduct. You don’t gey fat on my tax money and do this.
Impressive how people misunderstand this stuff. You don’t open a research lab for technology transfer, kinda the opposite. This is Apple saying they don’t see the USA as the best place to do research. The tech is already transferred
I’m pretty sure Apple getting your tax money is something your politicians wanted, not Apple. They’re one of the wealthiest companies on the planet and have more cash on hand than any other company as a matter of policy.
Moreover, Apple is a capitalist entity, not a state owned entity, they go where they can sell. That’s not really the US anymore. China has more middle class tech consumers than the north American continent has people.
You don’t understad what youa re talking about. You can’t even cite a source properly.
A lot of bravado tho… Maybe at least study the topics you are discussing to up your accuracy.
You didn’t cite a source for your ridiculous claim, I don’t need to cite a source in my correction. Reported for incivility though.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc.
Wikipedia is not a source, and your article does not support the claim that Apple, the most profitable tech company, is heavily subsidized by tax payers.
California registry is not as easily accessible but here is registration for Delaware that indicated that’s apple inc is a califor is based corporation that’s registered in DE.
