Cook lets not allow Police to access data in the USA or any other western country but allow China to spy on their own people.

The Chinese are obsessed with money probably more than even US Americans, so they have no problem with anything you do as long dollars are involved.

You tell all US companies they can no longer do business inside China. Watch how fast China falls.
Just like what we are doing to Russia and M/E with oil. We are purposely driving them to lower their prices. We have enough oil supply to last us 100+ years.

What does China buy off the U.S. that they can't get off anyone else? You aren't Germany...
LOL so corrupt Chinese officials can demand early access to Apple gear and take bribes so that they don't sue Apple for copying an 'Apple Watch' that they supposedly created 20 years ago.
Unfortunately it's a large market full of consumerist fools who got their money through corruption so spend it like monopoly money on luxury items (so Apple can't just say 'fark off' and ignore China/their ridiculous demands).

We shall see if Apple's steadfast support for liberties on the internet holds. I think not.

There is a fundamental difference between China and the United States. The Chinese government wants enough security in devices to keep random, non state sponsored criminals out, but they want enough access to break in when they want.
On the other hand, the NSA wants enough security in devices to keep random, non state sponsored criminals out, but they want enough access to break in when they want.

I find it interesting that China's minister of Cyberspace Administration is using pen and paper rather than an electronic device.
I doubt he's personally in the market for anWatch!
He knows that, in the world we live in today, pen and paper is the most secure way.

A typical Chinese official's face. I can even imagine how he smiles to Mr. Cook.
Hey, USians
Security
You guys are hacked to pieces (literally?) by your own government, the neighbourhood governments, and you propagate it all across the world without any regard to privacy or security anyways. Screw those of you who point fingers on the Chinese for worrying about their own from the spies at NSA and company.
Scrutiny
Similar to the above. The NSA have the advanced tech to hack and spy almost any device, and Apple has already fallen for the PRISM program, then it is wise to closely watch the Watch for smartly inserted holes by yours Spyful NSA and Co. All sponsored openly by Yours Lawfully US Government. Thoo.
We are the Best?
Hah, barely, if anymore. Your companies came to China because Republicans made it too easy, exploited the taxes so that your companies are ripped off compared to most other nations, and well your people are stupid. Low-skill workers are a premium with your silly unions, they want the sky to work anything close to moderate-tech, and still want to buy it dirt cheap. You can't have it all, you would know if you thought it for more than a second. Well, you don't it seems.
So no, you won't take out business from China. It will keep increasing, and Apple clearly shows why. The Chinese are the world's biggest producers, and primed to become the biggest consumers overall too. Such a market is incomparable to any other in the world. The US companies, forced to keep their cash out of their own birth country, will rather invest it into China than ever bring it back at this rate. Good wishful thinking though, idiots.
Conclusion?
This is well into the beginning. For years, it was anticipated that China will rise to become one of the biggest world economies. With a massive production & now consumer base, it is well into the process now.
The US will eventually fade out, fighting its way cowboy style into whatever it can, desperately. Like those trillion dollar annual wars, just to keep their war-machine oiled with their people's money and the world's blood. The tar sands and arctic exploration, because whats better than ruining the environment even more; ignoring the Kyoto Protocol was only a small step. Your people will fight each other, the police will shoot anyone with even a finger pointing out, riots will become common when you finally realise what a tinted twisted world you have been living in, filled with racism, illogical laws, bent ethics and that fake straw of freedom and democracy in the land of spying and the largest prison business.
Everything that has a beginning has an end, it doesn't even remain the same anyways. A long journey you had US, now enjoy your eventual self oblivion.

Security issues are easily resolved with the iWatch, just have people wearing one to wait in wi-fi shielded room for 10 minutes for the battery to go flat and security problem solved

US Manufacturing is in china..
Its hard to parse everything in this comment because it is sooo interesting. I find it fascinating a foreigner mentions the Republicans (we have 2 parties - very exciting here in the US) and seems to say they are the bad guys...but they did a good thing? Not sure if I am understanding that right. Its like they know the Republicans are bad because that is what the press says, but the rest of the paragraph is like a libertarian manifesto.
How easy should it be for a US company to go to China? This helps the Chinese so I assume Chinese people would want the answer to be VERY EASY. And yes the US has high corporate taxes, but that does not make sense with the above. In the US companies usually aren't owned by the government so they can go where ever they want.
Anyway. Corporations, despite our wishes and desires are rarely good or evil. They may have some moral people. But Cook is willing to sully himself in any way with the Chinese government to go after their market. I am not sure what is right or wrong. I just think its gross to watch a CEO beg for permission to sell his gadget in another country.
