Apple and other major U.S. companies that have been rushing to sever ties with Russia amid its invasion of Ukraine have been silent about China’s posturing against Taiwan or its persecution of Uyghurs.
Apple also said that state-owned Russian media outlets like RT News and Sputnik News are no longer available for download from the App Store outside Russia.
Apple has not made similar moves against China, which has been increasing its presence near Taiwan, an island that the communist country claims is part of its own territory despite the island’s claims of independence since 1949. The U.S. does not formally recognize Taiwan but maintains an unofficial relationship and is supportive of its democratic government.
Despite Apple taking a stand against Russia and its state media, Chinese state media outlets such as Xinhua News Agency, China Central Television and People's Daily are still available for download from the App Store. Apple CEO Tim Cook gestures from an elevator as he arrives to speak during a weeks-long antitrust trial in federal court in Oakland, Calif., May 21, 2021.
