Im pretty sure it was their "I don't give a fuck, you guys rip off our shit all the time, and we have one of the most powerful legal departments of any company in the world, so fuck you" that lead to this.Absolutionis said:
This is kinda hilarious, tbh, but at the same time this shows how cutthroat people can be regarding the simplest of blunders. I feel for Apple, as this does feel like a lot of legal bullcrap.
But at the same time, I must concede and award a point to China here, because that was a nice legal sleight of hand you pulled. Though, imo, it's a very low blow and you shouldn't be doing that, at the same time I can't help but congratulate you on that very same blow. It's a very low blow, but it's a very impressive-looking low blow.
Oh, and WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL OF THE JUSTIN BIEBER AVATARS COMING FROM?!

And this is why you double-check everything.
however wasnt it official chinese policy to "get away with copyright if that means our people live better for it"? or was that the last leader. im confused. thne again maybe this is correct, getting away with apple is better for their people after all. i mean, no more sold kidneys for ipad [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/110611-Teen-Sells-Kidney-for-iPad-2] right?

The big question here is "do we believe China?".
Even if they are right, my basic attitude is "sure, we'll get right on that, as soon as you start giving back the Quadrillions of dollars/pounds/whatever worth of money you've stolen through your robber economy".
I mean at the very best case it's sort of like a bunch of bandits screaming in outrage when someone sticks them up.

Sometimes the smallest of errors can mean the widest of gaps.
That's straightforward.
They made money from an IP name that they purchased without due diligence. When you make mistakes in business, it costs money. Apple should have to pay substantially for this mistake.
