#Apple did not have to make tricky corporate setups with #China to get around the #USGovt ban on US companies handling over data to China. They created a corporate arrangement where a Chinese gov owned company GCBD owns the data, so the Chinese government just asks them instead of Apple. This is clearly pursuing profits in direct conflict with human rights principals Apple claims to protect. This sounds just like #IBM's tight relationship with the Nazis in 1934.
