Tim Cook Says Chinese Security Talks Were 'Very Open', Bringing Apple Pay to China a Priority

[Mums]

It is interesting that you consider the poster's understanding of world finance to be shallow when you are simply repeating a conspiracy view that was hijacked by anti-government anarchists a long time ago.

Anybody who uses the term "conspiracy" these days is ignoring the "government" media bank machine that has taken over their lives. Either that or you're paid to spew irrational nonsense like: "a conspiracy view that was hijacked by anti-government anarchists a long time ago".

----------

The fact that China is currently the world's largest economy in PPP dollars and that it is the world's second largest economy at current exchange rates, as well as the fact that China and India have been the world's largest economies for most of the last thousand years due to their high populations.



Source?

I hate people that use the pathetic canard "Source?". Are you a Wikipedia "editor" by any chance. Nevertheless, the burden of proof lies with you.

If you participate here you are required to back stuff up with sources.

Sounds like you have no evidence at all that the Queen somehow rules the world.

To me Apple Pay falls on it's face as an overall experience when the store makes you sign on their stupid terminal because your purchase is $50.00+. It's like what was the point? I thought TouchID was this secure thing that merchants would have faith in right?

I think Cook is doing the right track talking to them directly. In China, tight relationship is a key to do just about anything. Close relationship is more important than honesty, or legitimacy. There are no contract papers when you rent an apartment, or order batch of merchandises without UCC like regulation. Don't be upset just because Chinese people turn their back on you. You just have not build enough friendship before dealing business with them.
I leaned from my wife who is a Chinese...

Who truly cares if your spouse is Chinese? We're all human, people need to stop playing the childish race card because we're all part of the human race.

But on the larger issue, you don't mind being in a situation where you're lied to and enjoy it? Yeah, that's the definition of dignity and ethics right there. Wow, just wow...

Why not? The Chinese government can have all the encryption keys they like. If they start asking for _decryption_ keys, that's something else. (For example when you use encrypted emails via S/MIME, your encryption keys are actually _public_. Everyone sending you an encrypted emails sends it using _your_ encryption key. The idea is that you are the only person with the decryption key who can read the message).
