Apple Updates GarageBand With New Instruments and Sounds to Celebrate Chinese Music

The difference is that other companies do not get on the human rights and equality soap box like Cook and Apple do.

Oh, they totally do. You just might not hear about that so often since not every company gets as prominent coverage as Apple, but they do. Even well-known corporate scum like Exxon, Nestlé and Monsanto sing that tune.

When it's easy, they jump right on that soap box. But $$$ trumps all.

…which – again – is true for pretty much every other company.

Just follow their rules Apple, don't try to save the world... their govt. is a mess and they know that already. Just play their game and pay off whoever needs paid off.

Don't worry yourself, it's not.

I don't worry, but the writer came across as some stupid yank (yanks are not a race! so no racism here).

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.

When this story broke, I looked through the instruments and under keyboard/other I found instruments I hadn't seen before. (Flute/Oboe/Bassoon/guitars/etc) I wonder how long they've been there and I didn't even know.
