Apple is facing political pressure in the U.S. to bring back factories.
Apple is the richest corporation in California and in the top 5 richest in the United States. It keeps its cash in accounts offshore claiming it's a global corporation in order to avoid taxes. It's time Apple and Tim Cook helps his country and help their citizens by bringing manufacturing jobs back to his country. This was never the case for the past eight+ years because of Obama and the liberals claiming globalization will make everyone better off. It was a lie. They also wanted for a way to bring in illegal aliens and not account for them to vote for the Democrats. So why is Cook still defending globalization when it already has made he and his company rich beyond their wildest dreams? This was the mantra of the Democrats. Now we have a Republican as POTUS. It's time Apple starts supporting their country and bringing the jobs and Apple cash back here. The company has to pay their fair share in taxes.
This has affected me personally as I have seen American friends and co-workers who are legal citizens lose their jobs to green card contractors from India, Philippines and Russia. I'm usually not in favor of boycotts, but what else can legal citizens do when their leaders did not care about their well-being for nearly a decade?
"Apple Inc.’s Chief Executive Tim Cook defended globalization in a rare public speech in China, as his company faces political pressure in the U.S. to bring back factories.
Mr. Cook also said data privacy was one of the company’s values, although he stopped short Saturday of criticizing decryption demands from governments as Apple has previously in the U.S. It was his first time speaking at the China Development Forum, an annual conference sponsored by China’s central government. It came as part of a broader charm offensive in China as Apple announced two new research centers.
Mr. Cook said in his hourlong session that globalization “in general is great for the world,” but gains aren’t evenly distributed within countries. While he said this was a problem, he cautioned against countries retreating from globalization as a response.
“I think the worst thing would be to—because it didn’t help everyone—is to say it’s bad and do less of that,” said Mr. Cook. “I think the reality is you can see that countries in the world…that isolate themselves, it’s not good for their people.”
U.S. President Donald Trump has made American manufacturing revival a key goal and has called on Apple to bring back iPhone production. That has raised concerns in China, the main manufacturing base for Apple and many other global companies.
Mr. Cook didn’t directly address the issue of bringing production back to the U.S. Saturday, beyond his defense of globalization. Analysts have said it would be difficult to make iPhones in the U.S. in a cost-effective way, although it might be possible to move limited production of other Apple products back."
