Chinese anti-Apple sentiment rising

And the government has not weighed in yet

US Donald (Prince of Orange) Trump’s trade war is having a knock-on effect on the fruity cargo cult Apple.

BuzzFeed News had detailed the growing Apple boycott movement earlier this month, and matters are only getting worse. A South China Morning Post report this morning is offering more perspective on the anti-Apple sentiment. Chinese consumers are feeling that they should support domestic brands instead of buying products from foreign companies.

One consumer reported it was embarrassing to pull an iPhone out of your pocket nowadays when all the company executives use Huawei. We would have thought it always was, only now you are noticing it.

Apple sales in China have been falling ever since it tried to release phones which were twice the price of local rivals'.

Apple’s sales have fallen by 20 percent in China, and the numbers are getting worse. It was thought that the Chinese government might punish Apple for Trump’s attack on Huawei.

However, it looks like it might not have to as the Chinese might have had a gutsful of all things American.

After all who wants to own a phone made by a country which wants to destroy successful Chinese business?
