gg, yes the Chinese government likes the apology because it makes them look powerful and Apple weak and sniveling.

Apple just lost a huge bit of negotiating power regarding a deal with China Mobile or Telecom or whatever......which is what the attack was about imo.

I think it was a big mistake.

I don't think American jingoism should be involved. From a business sense, It was all Apple could do. What do you want Apple to tell the Chinese: "Go to hell." If I were of influences in china, I would be working on a home grown phone and operating system. Apple nor anyone else does not have the upper hand. Unfortunately, politeness is not in the western worlds business lexicon.

I say Cook should start every morning with an apology.

It's called stooping to conquer. In Jobs's hands this would likely have morphed into a sulk-fest, followed by a PR crisis.
