China has reportedly banned government people from using Apple iPhones and other foreign devices for work purposes.
RT:
Beijing has reportedly ordered officials working for central government agencies to stop using iPhones or any other foreign devices for work or bringing them into the office, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Several government employees told the outlet that they had been given these instructions by superiors in recent weeks via workplace chat groups and in-person meetings.
While government officials at some agencies had already been barred from using iPhones for years, the latest order seems to have significantly expanded the reach of the policy. However, the WSJ noted that it was unclear exactly how widely the orders were distributed but similar messages were also being communicated to employees at some central government regulatory agencies.
Neither Apple nor China’s State Council Information Office have yet confirmed the move or responded to requests for comment on the matter, the WSJ said.
There is no reason for the Chinese to use iPhones. The new Huawei phone is made with parts 100 percent made in China and appears to be a much better product than the iPhone.
In China, people are not lining up for the new iPhone but for the new Huawei Mate 60. For a long time now, Chinese people have been getting the best phones first. pic.twitter.com/8AmdwtCie5

You also have the obvious security issues that come with using Apple products. They have been funneling data to various ZOG alphabet soup agencies for years.
Apple’s global leadership in the smartphone market is likely coming to an end and this story is just another indication of that.
