It's also possible that the communists pressured Cook to re-open to send that message. It wouldn't be the first time Apple has caved to the CCP.

To answer your earlier comment, even if the cases dropped, are you arguing that we implement authoritarianism just because it's more convenient in this case? Classic "trains run on time" argument. Of course it offers some benefits, but the losses are far greater.

You think Tim Cook bowed to China and closed every Apple store in the entire world except in China? That hardly seems likely.

Not making an argument one way or the other just stating some facts. People can make up their own minds.
