#Apple spending up to $45m to build Beijing research centre. Buying friends for doing business in China isn’t cheap. http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20160929PD204.html
Obvious why #Uber had to quit #China, they are trying so hard to keep the losses under 2015’s record of $2B a year. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-25/uber-loses-at-least-1-2-billion-in-first-half-of-2016
Well, just like my UK boarding school days then. Buy for 50p from #Chinatown and sell for £1. #Ramen #Nissin http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37162373
If it wasn’t for all the regulatory issues, #Intel would have made the move on #ARM. Will it end up in Chinese hands like #Supercell?
#Apple needed to buy friends in China, that’s why they invested $1b in #didichuxing. That’s the “permitted” bet, not #LeTV, #Baofeng or BAT.
#GoogleDocs is not a true competitor to #Office365. Any business exec travel to China with GoogleDocs can’t use the apps offline.
Here is the twist, Chinese-owned American company #Segway got the US ITC to ban mostly Chinese hoverboard imports. http://gizmodo.com/us-officially-bans-hoverboard-imports-1765273203
#ApplePay launched in China with a bang! Many top apps supporting it from day 1!
Downloading #Xcode from #Apple is much faster in China now, I can get up to 2.2MB/sec previously was never over 500kB/sec.
There are 20 #AppleStores in mainland China, 4 in HK. Greater China sells more #iPhones than US. Grey import from HK is insignificant!
Will #Uber abandon their plan to conquer #China? Or can they build up their own fleet to compete with #Didi or #ShenZhou?
Will it really be so easy for #Google to come back to China again? Been 6 years already! The market is even more competitive than before.
