TechCheck+ Apple’s China problem: how its ticket to success has become a liability 10/27/23

Apple can thank China for much of its success.

But now, what was once a key to its success has become a liability. In just the past few weeks, it’s seen a tax investigation into its biggest manufacturer, accusations of censorship around Jon Stewart’s canceled show, and has lost its market share dominance to competitor Huawei. This week on Tech Check, we dive into Apple’s China problem, and why it’s not going anywhere.

TechCheck+ Will Temu Kill Amazon? How the Chinese Shopping App’s Rapid Growth Could Crack Amazon’s Dominance 10/13/23

Temu appears unstoppable. Since the Chinese shopping app launched in the U.S. a year ago, it has become the number one e-commerce app in the country, with downloads skyrocketing 50x from 600,000 to 30 million in just one quarter, according to Bernstein analysts.
