I believe everyone should have seen the news, Apple CEO Tim Cook visited China again, carried out intensive business activities, and frequently went out to "check in", so that some people ridiculed that "all of Beijing is meeting Cook".
But it didn't work, because everyone understood it.
Cook's trip to China is to sell mobile phones and the Chinese market. The data shows that at the beginning of Cook's presidency, the Chinese market accounted for only 2% of Apple's total revenue. So far, the Chinese market has accounted for more than 20% of Apple's total revenue.
And the point is that the proportion is still rising rapidly.
In recent years, due to the impact of the economy, the epidemic and other aspects, global mobile phone sales have been in a downward trend.
Among them, the decline in 2022 reached 12%.
At the same time, China, as the world's largest mobile phone consumer market, sold a total of 286 million mobile phones in 2022. Relying on the strong Chinese market, Apple's mobile phone sales have remained stable during the epidemic.
Data show that Apple's domestic sales in 2021 soared 47% year-on-year, far exceeding the global average increase.
Therefore, Cook has repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Chinese consumers in conference calls.
Such a large, such an important market, cannot afford Cook and Apple not to pay attention.
It is no exaggeration to say that Apple's next good or bad, the key to growth depends on China.
However, for the apple industry chain that all Chinese people are most concerned about, Cook has not expressed anything. Watching Cook earn a circle in China, many people gradually reversed, Apple-related industrial chains still have to go, can not stay!
In fact, as ordinary people, we don't care how Apple phones sell in China.
But we are very concerned about the Apple-related industry chain, because it is related to our employment and income.
If Cook and Apple really thank China, then let the fruit chain stay, but at present, this possibility is almost impossible, and the fruit chain is accelerating its withdrawal from China.
Apple is gone, Foxconn will naturally go, and the previous Samsung, Toshiba, etc., regardless of whether the foreign market is good or bad, it is an indisputable fact that the manufacturing industry has left China in large numbers.
On the one hand, the "de-Sinicization" of the West has become a trend, especially with the intensification of Sino-US competition, people are increasingly bottomless.
On the other hand, Southeast Asian labor is too cheap.
Of course, cheap is not the main reason for foreign asset chains, because for a long time in the past, Southeast Asian labor was cheaper than ours, but there was no transfer of industrial chains, and large-scale transfers were still after the US trade war and proposed "de-Sinicization".
Further analysis of the US motives is nothing more than China's rapid development, especially breakthroughs in the field of science and technology, which make the United States and other Western countries feel afraid, afraid that our advantages will be snatched away by us, and afraid that the yuan will replace the dollar.
The most important point is that a hegemonic country like the United States has a ghost in its heart if it does too much to do, fearing that we will overtake them and engaging in liquidation, and worrying that its advantages will be taken away, so the United States wants to curb China's development.
In the high-end manufacturing industry, the United States requires return, such as chips and other industries.
Southeast Asia, Mexico, are all supported by the West and opposed us in low-end manufacturing.
Everyone understands that these small countries cannot replace China, but they can lock in our development and increase our unemployment rate, so that the West can maintain its advantage in the industrial chain and rely on occupying the top of the global industrial chain to "wool the world".
This is the mind of the West!
Therefore, as a mainstream enterprise in the West, foreign-funded companies such as Apple will definitely not be able to stay.
This is something that has already been determined, in fact, if foreign-funded enterprises want to leave, it is also their freedom and cannot be forced.
It cannot be said that if we have a large low-end labor, we will not let people go.
What we can do now is to do what we should do, the West suppresses our high-end manufacturing, we prefer to move towards high-end manufacturing, support leading science and technology enterprises, let them go abroad, open up the international market.
As for the employment of low-end labor, it can be solved by cash-for-work, or even in cooperation with Russia in the development of the Far East. At the same time, the most important thing is to support and expand our own market.
Technically stuck in the neck, we are not as skilled as others.
We believe, hurry up and catch up.
The market is stuck in the neck, it is really impossible to say.
Everyone said no?
