You aren't that bright I see. That's the point, apple doesn't give two shits what their people say except if it hurts the bottom line. There are no good guys between apple and Stewart, the only thing of note is that if true, Stewart is so sinophobic that if he didn't get to do sinophobic rants and convince people to beat China in the AI race, he wouldn't have a show at all.
Apple can get huge R&D grants if the USAs relationship with China sours further. Apple represents the USA, the USA doesn't have an AI technology sector independent of the big Silicon Valley companies. Apple pushing for Sinophobia, being indifferent to Sinophobia, or being weary of non-factual reporting driven by Sinophobia hurting their business relationships in or with China are all plausible situations where motifs can be shown.
Apple acting in accordance with its interests, given that it does business in China, is too shocking to be believed?
Tell us more about the bridge. Does it bear enough load for me to drive a T-34 over it, and once I get to the opposite side from the libs will it burn easily?
