Can someone explain why the PRC leadership allows Apple to generate such enormous profits in China when there appears to be little to no direct benefit in return, especially while Chinese companies are denied comparable access to US markets? What is the underlying strategy here? Is this a deliberate long-term policy, a pragmatic economic calculation, or simply institutional inertia?

If Chinese firms like Huawei and others have faced years of restrictions, bans, and political pressure from the US government and its establishment, wouldn’t it make more strategic sense for China to respond in kind by removing Apple from the Chinese market rather than continuing to give it such lucrative access?
Mr. Tim Apple and Elon Musk types have significant influence in Washington D.C. You can say business titans with vested interests in China market access is a moderating factor to the NatSec Hawk's self-harming tendencies.

In banking, some news has gone viral where an employee accused a female boss at JPmorgan of basically treating him as a sex slave.

Its probably exaggerated.
First off, why would any American white women refer to her own breasts as "cannons"? The whole quotes reads like a foreign made-in-India fan fiction fantasy. No white women esp. in high corporate talks like that.

Nope, this is another disguised recruitment ad just like Hegseth's corruption scheme to make people sign up for the military thinking they'd get fed lobster tails and king crab at the random office parties that happen all the time just to end up on an flaming ship near Iran being fed rations of canned dogfood. Same here: all the thirsty dudes try to get hired at Chase thinking they'd get dominatrix action from the milf/cougar boss ladies; end up buried in 12 hours of paperwork and reports everyday while getting micromanaged and yelled at by a team lead who looks like the butch lesbian manager at Office Max.

According to BIMCO, Japan's shipyards received 83% fewer new shipbuilding orders in January to March compared to the same period last year, with their world share remaining at just 1%. This marks the lowest level since 1996. Meanwhile, the global backlog of new shipbuilding orders reached 191 million CGT, the highest in 17 years.
So is this what annihilation looks like?

No bigger snake in Europe than Annalena Bare-back. At least the other EU witches like Ursula von der Liar and Kaja Kill-us are more stupid and openly transparent with their hatred of China.

I don’t mind westerner gooners being tricked into thinking Chinese baddies are Japanese. Let them get on flights to Japan and go harass Japanese women rather than let their gross disgusting sex predator asses into China. Chinese border agents need to be extra careful to check for roofies in the luggage of western (and Indian) men entering the country in the future.
