Posted December 2, 2022 at 5:40pm by iClarified
Apple CEO Tim Cook ignored a reporter and refused to answer questions about China while on Capitol Hill yesterday.
Cook was meeting with Democrat and Republican representatives over antitrust concerns with the App Store; as well as, the company's tight relationship with China.
Fox Business' Hillary Vaughn caught up with Cook after his meetings and asked the following questions.
---
Vaughn: Hi Mr. Cook. Do you support the Chinese people's right to protest?
Cook: SILENT
Vaughn: Do you have any reaction to the factory workers that were beaten and detained for protesting COVID lockdowns?
Cook: SILENT
Vaughn: Do you regret restricting AirDrop access that protesters used to evade surveillance from the Chinese government?
Cook: SILENT
Vaughn: Do you think it's problematic to do business with the Communist Chinese Party when they suppress human rights?
Cook: SILENT
---
Notably, Senator Josh Hawley recently sent an open letter to Tim Cook asking him to explain Apple's ongoing collaboration with China by December 6. We'll let you know how the company responds.
