Apple can thank China for much of its success. In the early days, as Apple was on the brink of bankruptcy, it pivoted its manufacturing to China, capitalizing on a massive low-wage workforce, billions in government stimulus to build out enormous factories, and the loyalty of a rapidly growing middle class. But now, what was once a key to its success has become a liability. In just the past few weeks, it’s seen a tax investigation into its biggest manufacturer, accusations of censorship around Jon Stewart’s canceled show, and has lost its market share dominance to competitor Huawei. This week on Tech Check, we dive into Apple’s China problem, and why it’s not going anywhere.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
