Pretty bizarre that stuff like this happens. I'd have thought that Apple would have a native focus group of sorts to check this out. Or failing that just scrape together a couple actual chinese among their 150k employees to get some relevant eyeballs on it.

And not just China...in general. Even small companies (<500) often keep track of their employee's nationality and language proficiency.

They do have a native focus group in China, composed entirely of senior party officials.
