Why Apple’s China Disaster Is Worse Than You Think | Cult of Mac: " . . . There have been many theories published about why the Chinese government is attacking Apple. My own theory is that abusing and suppressing Apple solves many problems by the Chinese government.

By knocking down Apple, the Chinese government makes life easier for domestic rivals. Second, Apple is revered in China by many fans. The Chinese government has historically attacked foreign influences when they got too popular in China. Third, the Chinese government has no doubt been looking for a way to retaliate against the US government, which banned the purchase of Huawei and ZTE networking equipment, citing close ties to the Chinese government and military and a threat of espionage through that equipment.
