I’m just surprised it was the Republicans to back Stewart up.
There’s an aspect to Jon they like… Or at least use to their own advantage.
Jon tends to be pretty hard on China. Remember the controversy over his off-the-cuff comments as Colbert’s guest about covid and China?
China makes the hardware, I thought this was common knowledge. Of course they have Apple by the balls
It’s not the manufacturing that Apple is scared of losing, it’s the Chinese market itself. There’s over a billion people in China and Apple makes a lot of money selling them Phones and iPads.
Apple manufacturing moved a lot out of China. China still has a lot of the raw materials they need, and in quantities they need them, but recently Apple knows it needs to be faborable to them especially right now, if for nothing else to preserve the Chinese market share they currently have and try and keep relationships amicable post manufacturing move.
How do lawmakers demand something that isn’t a law?
Anyone can demand anything

I demand you take that back!
I demand ham.
They can request anyone to show up and speak about an issue, doesn’t mean anyone is required to answer them
They use the ‘demand’ rhetoric to gauge support for an idea, analyse the result, and if profitable draft and pass a bill to change the thing that isn’t a law into a law.
The bigger story to me is that there is a House Select Committee on competition with the Chinese communist party.
I would hope China has an equivalent. Competition like this in science and arts only elevates humanity. It’s military competition we have to be careful of.
Builds bigger phallus shaped projectile, it’s a building bro, it’s even got beds and election hatches lol
Oh no. How could anyone have so blatant an announcement of competition?! Hahaha
We don’t have one for Chad?

I was a fool like many, but no more.
The key question to ask when some exclaims in favor of free markets is always “free for who?”.
Free for who?
When I say a sandwich is free, who is it free for? There’s no such thing as a free sandwich. Someone bears the cost.
Cook must have a CCP handler sitting next to him at all times, handing out approval or disapproval from Emperor Xi
Imagine translating while someone’s busy farting in the background
This would be a bigger deal if anyone had actually watched the first 2 seasons.
Honestly, it’s not even about the show - it’s the fact that Apple, more or less, is basically censoring stuff that badmouths China.
If Apple can do it to somebody like Jon Stewart, then what other companies are willing to do this - or even already have done?
