Protests have erupted across China in recent weeks against the country's zero-COVID policy, but citizens will no longer be able to take full advantage of their iPhones' AirDrop file sharing feature, which has frequently been used to bypass censorship and spread information about demonstrations.


But that would never happen here.

Listening to Steve Cortes on War Room. This protest could have huge worldwide implications. He is saying it could disrupt the world economy and especially our domestic consumption. We have no more manufacturing capacity here.

Apple doesn't want to lose money. There's a lot of ways for China to frick with apple.. and apple is afraid.

It's a perfect example of how soulless those huge corporations are.

It's almost like handing over the vast majority of your manufacturing capacity to the whims of the CCP is a bad thing.

No more capacity here but there is capacity in a bunch of other Asian countries I’m sure.

Aren’t Vietnam and others taking up a lot of the work that China used to do?

But China is also fearful. They know few can’t stand up against 100’s of millions. You can only use fear in desperation to stay in power for so long until it collapses.

Chinese State Media labeled the videos and pictures as "disinformation'. So this censorship is justified.

Experts in demographics who say that supply chains will be disappearing due to population loss have already predicted this.

Interestingly it appears to be caused by peripheral actions (the protests, which may be mounting due to power changes within China over time..)

It is time to establish American stand alone supply chains in every crucial field.

and the Klaus Schwab school of genetically deficient globalists are so certain that China is the role model of humanity going forward..

I get no news from our government propagandist "journalism network" - this is a factor in every aspect of life - dig deep, exercise effective discernment.

Isn't there a way to develop an app that can be downloaded outside the App stores? An app that can be encrypted only between two devices? Like a "Cell" type app.

I’m hoping Covid was the event that kickstarted a transition away from China and over to India/Vietnam/etc.
Hope we can bring advanced mfg back home.

Apple is definitely the better of 2 evils in the phone options. Wish a legit system was created from phones to computer OSs, that is legit old school. No Cloud unless its your own personal one that you control 100%. Glad to hear that amazons alexa is bleeding money. Though Amazon keeps it going cause its worth having all that data on people. We really are destroying ourselves.

I heard that chyna is porn bombing all the hashtags connected to the movement
