  5. >> What are the secret agenda of Tim Cook, behind his persistence to keep all the Apple production in China? << maybe Tim Apple is nowhere as competent a supply-chain genius as Steve made him out to be. Foxconn, a sleazy Taiwanese contract manufacturer, runs much of Apple's manufacturing and the company has had little success operating outside China (eg, Brazil, Wisconsin in US). Their Chinese operation likewise depends on millions of 23 yo unskilled, slave-wage earners from rural China (Tim Apple just announced he's going to increase Apple's spending on rural China yesterday), plus various subsidies, free factories/dorms, bonus payment for exceeding export quota, etc, etc provided by the CCP. Tim Apple in turn supports local Chinese economy buy spending over $270+B to train their rural youth and prop up local tech industry -- eg, Apple helped Chinese companies recruit American engineers and was the largest backer of YMTC which was recently blacklisted.
