The Chinese government has listed ten of the company's products Apple to the list of products that cannot be purchased from public fundsanciv. It is all due to the Chinese government's concern about security, which officials say is threatened by the products themselves. Apple. On the list of ten products with the logo Apple for example, an iPad, iPad mini, Macbook Air or MacBook Pro. Apple is the latest US technology company to land on the government's list of so-called junk products that can't be bought with big bucks.

According to the Chinese agency Apple just like Symantec Corporation or Kaspersky, they threaten state security through hacking and cyberspying, i.e. because the products send information about users directly to Applu and also to NSA servers. "When the government stops buying certain products, it sends a signal to private companies and parastatals," said Mark Po, an analyst at UOB Kay Hian Ltd. in Hong Kong for the agency Bloomberg and added: "The Chinese government wants to make sure that foreign companies don't have too much influence in China."

Apple It made 16% of its $37 billion in revenue in China alone last quarter, so the ban on government companies purchasing products is definitely unfavorable for the company. ProiPad sales increased by 51% in the last quarter and Mac sales by 39% in China, so the question is how the stock market will react to the event, for Apple that is not pleasant. Increased concern about state security results from the statement of Edward Snowden, who accused not only the American government, but also American companies of espionage in other countries of the world. And so while in Russia you won't buy products from the European Union thanks to Putin, because it simply doesn't like that someone is killing innocent people, in China state enterprises won't buy iPads because Edward Snowden said something he didn't have.
