How dare they make their own laws in their own country! Why, I ought to go out there and make them hang the American flag, because screw them and their thousand year history!dubious_wolf said:This is bull shit.

An oversight by the UK firm in buying these trademarks off a Chinese company caused all of this. I doubt blaming China and their cra~zy laws is going to solve anything.

But if Apple makes a mistake, the Chinese use our legal system -which they completely ignore if it suits them- to sue Apple...
