Sorry to link the NY post but it was actually the only source I saw that mentioned both Apple’s manufacturing interests in China as well as its interest in hawking goods there.

I feel hopeful that the CPC’s policy of hanging the capitalists with the rope they sell them is working. Is it possible, as unbelievable as it may seem, that American journos will one day soon lose their jobs for criticizing China?

Sorry if this was already covered elsewhere. I searched but couldn’t find anything.

I actually do agree with silencing criticism of China since it leads to Asians getting murdered and hate crime’d in the USA. And also because the USA, given its history, has no right to criticize anyone.
