Apple is complicit in Chinese censorship. There’s simply no other way to put it. Thousands of apps have been deleted from the Chinese Apple App Store, including recently a Quran app and a Bible app.

Plus hundreds of games, social apps, and more.

Apple has to do business in China. That's just realistic. And it has to obey the laws of countries it does business in. That's also just realistic. 

Sideloading could enable both.
