Will Apple be the last US tech giant
left in China?

Apple's huge presence in China looks increasingly conspicuous as US tech giants pull out of the country.
Microsoft's LinkedIn is the latest to shut down, pulling the plug on its social network in China after facing increasing challenges complying with the Chinese state.
Apple has its own censorship problems in the country.
Two popular religious apps were removed from Apple's App Store, and the Amazon-owned Audible and Yahoo Finance app have also been taken down.
Silicon Dragon is quoted, noting that Apple is unlikely to leave China any time soon. Just too much vested there!
For the back stories on LinkedIn, Facebook and Amazon in China, read my most recent book: Tech Titans of China.
