Earlier this year, Apple announced plans to open a new research and testing lab in Shenzhen, China, with a focus on core products like the iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro headset. The facility was set to launch in the second half of 2024, and it seems everything is on track.

    As an American who subsizes this shit… Yes bro it is concerning that a parasite is gonna transfer technology to a geo political rival. This is geopolitics 101.

    We already gone through this over last 30 years…

    So unless there is something I am missing, this mega Corp is whoring around and should b checked for this misconduct. You don’t gey fat on my tax money and do this.

      Impressive how people misunderstand this stuff. You don’t open a research lab for technology transfer, kinda the opposite. This is Apple saying they don’t see the USA as the best place to do research. The tech is already transferred

      I’m pretty sure Apple getting your tax money is something your politicians wanted, not Apple. They’re one of the wealthiest companies on the planet and have more cash on hand than any other company as a matter of policy.

      Moreover, Apple is a capitalist entity, not a state owned entity, they go where they can sell. That’s not really the US anymore. China has more middle class tech consumers than the north American continent has people.
