China forced Apple to remove any app where the developer isn't registered in China. Meaning they asked Apple to remove 95% of the apps and games available in the App Store.
Poor iPhone users, basically they will get a "wechat handheld" and that's it…
The only thing stopping them is their own incompetency. Truly a thin wall, but as their older generations start dying off we'll see that wall broken down.
We wish, but we expect the younger generations would be the same if not more strict (think Kim).
