— disadvantageous bc it will help China’s economy 
— Apple has to pay taxes to Chinese government in China, which will benefit China citizens & economy
— lesser job opportunities, increasing the unemployment level 
— larger scale of production bc China has all the raw materials ????]]> 2018-01-17 04:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/Shobana07/gmhoxw7n8dz9/wish/221945523 China -Jun Jie https://padlet.com/Shobana07/gmhoxw7n8dz9/wish/221945540



When one reads about these working conditions - 12-16 hour shifts, pay of ~$1 per hour or less - the obvious assumption is that it's all about money

Manufacturing an iPhone in the United States would cost about more than manufacturing it in China, where it costs an estimated $8. This would dent the profit Apple makes on each iPhone.

At the same time, Chinese Citizens will benefit from it as it will be cheaper there compared to in the US, due to the fact that China’s economy is good. An example of a city that has already benefitted from the Foreign Direct Investment would be BeiJing. Apple has helped China by reducing the carbon emissions of the iPhone 6s and iPhone6s Plus by the 16% and 14% respectively from last year’s models, according to the product environmental report on its website]]> 2018-01-17 04:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/Shobana07/gmhoxw7n8dz9/wish/221945553 US citizens https://padlet.com/Shobana07/gmhoxw7n8dz9/wish/221945557 No. USA is the country who founded Apple, when Apple wants to develop in USA, this would mean that China would find better ways to create a better phone and to out stand themselves if the phone China created is better. This would lead to further conflicts about China copying features and ideas from the USA, causing more tensions between these countries. 

And if Apple builds its facilities in China, China citizens would be hired. This would increase China’s job opportunities and lead to higher profits and an increase in the market shares in China. With more market shares, the scale of production would increase and China’s economy will prosper. This may lead to conflicts and tensions amongst as USA might feel unfair that China has earn more profits when USA were the one who created Apple. This misunderstanding would be unnecessary just because of building Apple’s facilities. Therefore, if we want to live in a more harmonious  world, Apple should not build its facilities in China.
