Tim only cares about human rights when it is convenient and easy to do so and won't impact the bottom line.
Uh huh. Actually, he only cares about LGBT equality, everyone else can go get stuffed. If it's affecting the bottom line that is. /s

Not at all!!Not sure what you tried to do there, but it comes across to me (my perception and understanding) as a bit racist.

China is on Earth, right? How about lets get along, all humans.
If they can add Chinese instruments and music to Apple Loops, then they have no excuse not to add music and instruments from other cultures as well.
Did you mean iMotors?Doubling down on China for sure...
BTW, there are secret airMotors under Apple Campus 2 that will allow its relocation to Beijing :|
Of course they have an excuse. Those other cultures aren't actively threatening their business. Why bother catering to customers if they're not depressing your stock price?
Apple changed the naming scheme of their OS releases to reflect place names in California—as well as moved production of the Mac Pro to the United States—at a time when they were under heavy criticism for not paying enough American taxes. That criticism has abated, so what we have now is Apple possibly renaming OS X entirely (see recent stories on the "macOS" trademark; I feel like it's back to the future) and the Mac Pro is so neglected that it is more likely to be discontinued rather than updated, so one has to wonder what will happen to those American production jobs.
Apple was recently threatened by China to the point that the iBooks and iTunes movies stores were blocked in country. Now we have this GarageBand update that is China-focused, coupled with the major investment in Didi Chuxing. I wonder how this will play out?
So who says they're not? This may be the first step of many. I'd love to see a sitar as well.If they can add Chinese instruments and music to Apple Loops, then they have no excuse not to add music and instruments from other cultures as well.

Well, sounds like Tim is in China every 18 months or so, which probably meant to squeeze as many positive news in for that region as possible. The Garageband instruments for example are not just compiled over night I guess so they waited with the update until it made sense in for them to release it.It’s sad to see Apple whoring itself out to China.
I totally get a world economy, and trade is great for all. But Apple is going to such great lengths (publicly) to gain acceptance.
Jump. How high?
Tim is really doubling down on getting that iTunes ban lifted. What's next? Adopting a Chinese orphan?
Pandering to the Chinese government is just a start. Apple has always been vigilant in creating a great marketing strategy. Based on the recent experience, Apple has gained valuable knowledge they didn't have earlier. Firmly committed to do whatever it takes, Apple is sure to succeed.Apple's gunning for China, hard.
Yeah, that's what scares me.Firmly committed to do whatever it takes.
