It still amazes me that Apple can't even be PERCEIVED as somehow criticizing China -- even if Stewart's reporting was going to be factual. Apple, a US-headquartered company and the most valuable in the world, can't have a show on their streaming platform that isn't supportive of China.

an important phrasing, because they're not an American company, they just kinda hang out in California.

They're a Multinational, and they don't have a country, and don't have allegiance outside of keeping that stock price high.

how convenient for them now that they're rich and successful after being handed a lot of opportunity from various US sources and origin benefits.

i'm sure that such gracious recipients of various US-centric startup/early business support will cause the proud U.S. tradition of government support for small and upstart businesses to continue and flourish well into the future.

The grateful American patriotic companies don't exist (well, they can exist, just not for very long...survival bias at work).

Have you seen the South Park episode "Band In China"? Or followed the NBA's treatment of a player who simply tweeted once in short of Taiwan?

Not much surprises me about China and censorship any more.
