Comments on: Has Beijing Store Location Moved? http://www.ifoapplestore.com/db/2008/03/12/has-beijing-store-location-moved/ news and information about Apple Inc.'s retail stores Thu, 04 Dec 2008 23:58:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Macula http://www.ifoapplestore.com/db/2008/03/12/has-beijing-store-location-moved/#comment-29607 Macula Sun, 29 Jun 2008 07:24:18 +0000 http://www.ifoapplestore.com/db/2008/03/12/has-beijing-store-location-moved/#comment-29607 Oh, grow up, "Free people"? Someone obviously hasn't read the Patriot (or should that be patriate) act. Apple moved production to China because it was cheap. If they didn't you'd be on some other board complaining about high prices. Now, all that money coming in to china is increasing quality of life, and actually supporting the freedom which you seem to enjoy. And by the way, the only reason why a "Dust up" over Taiwan is even possible, is due to a bloody stupid UN thinking that awarding sovereignty of the nation (Historically China's) to JAPAN! in order to secure trade deals was a good Idea. They've got better claim to Hawaii. *Sigh* I'm looking forward to the apple stores opening. I miss the demi-religious experience of visiting. Oh, grow up, “Free people”?

Many, many of our replacement parts are from China. I'd much rather have those products and parts produced in a free country by free people. If for some reason our supply of those products and parts are cut off…say a dust up over Taiwan, we are in deep trouble. There are lost and lots of people around the world that need work and I'd like to see Apple make its products at least in North America or a non-Communist country again.
