About Apple’s profitable business in China
Recent reports suggest that during the pandemic period, Apple’s business skyrocketed in China and at present, it makes more profits than both of China’s biggest tech companies as per the analysis done by the Financial Times.
“It is clear to Beijing that this is a two-way street. They get a great return – a lot of it employment, and prestige,” said Brian Merchant, author of The One Device: The Secret History of the iPhone, “Salaries, and standards are better for companies that contract with Apple. This has helped raise salaries for the middle class.”
China happens to be Apple’s manufacturing base because 95% of iPhone production happens in the country. Apple has struck a bargain with Beijing which is benefitting its business and also helping it beat its competitor in the country, Huawei. The credit for all this goes to the CEO of the company, Tim Cook. He used to visit Beijing before the pandemic and because of that, Apple did not meet the same fate as those of other companies like Netflix, Meta, and Alphabet that have been locked out of the country.
