Interests Is The Main Factor That iPhone Entered Into The Mainland Market

Now,iPhone's entering into China has become a hot topic, the editor of iPhoneAsia,Dan Butterfield (Dan Butterfield) published an article today, he said that if China Unicom successfully introduced iPhone, it would be naturally benefit for the development of itself, but during the gamble, we should take the entire interests of China telecommunications industry and the intervention of Chinese government into account.

Artman (Artman) previously published an article at the message board of AAPL Sanity , the following is our response to this article. Arltman mentioned that when Apple was asked about the period when iPhone would enter into China, the answer of the COO of Apple,Tim Cook (Tim Cook),was very strict. He had already twice mentioned that iPhone would formally enter into the market of China within "one year". In other words, iPhone might enter into China tomorrow, or may be enter into China someday within 12 months.

The title of Arltman's article is as following: I remembered that Tim Cook once said: "Within a year,' " The behavior is indeed very wise. The great prophet Berra (Yogi Berra) once said, "everything will not end until it really comes." I have written an article previously In which I also wrote several problems that may referred in the negotiation between Apple and China Unicom, in this article, I will not repeat. As for the negotiation about iPhone entering into China, I concerned about that how much the relevant "forces" will control in order to better protect China's interests. It reminds me of the basketball game that I take part in at local gym.

Every Saturday, many people come and play, we will split into two teams and compete with each other intensely. Everyone hopes that their team will win and they will make effort to beat the opponent to earn more score, this is human nature. But when the game is over, no matter which team he just join, all are still good friends.

Next game, the person who just fiercely competeed with you perhaps will become your teammate. Once a stranger comes to the stadium, and shows his extraordinary skills, you definitely want him to join in your team. But no matter how well this person (Apple) plays, he can not replace the friendship between you and your friends have known for years.

In China's telecommunications industry, wireless operators competed with each other fiercely, but they are familiar with each other, and they will always give priority to the development of the telecommunications industry.

If necessary, the Government will even remind operators that the interest of telecom industry is more important than their own. So, you can recruit an outstanding "foreign aid" (Apple) to help you to win the game, but if the Government considers that the telecommunications industry will suffer losses (for example, foreign aid has attracted much attention, and also increased the teamexpenses), then the government will intervene. In my opinion, China will not allow Apple to enter easily, not to mention the foreign aid has other purposes besides joining in the game.

The Chinese government hopes that the retailer's interests (value-added service platform) can surpass Apple, in other words, to contorl Apple. For example, the abolition of WiFi module, the government only support the WAPI standard. Apple wants to provide value-added services through its iTunes store? Perhaps, it will take much time to get the approval of the government.

In any case, there are many organizations hope to gain real economic benefits from the matter that iPhone enters into the market of China. Includeing: 1, Apple China 2, China Unicom, 3,Foxconn 4, Best Buy (potential retailer of iPhone) 5, Wal-Mart (potential retailer of iPhone) iPhone's entering into China will lead to large investment, after all, if iPhone enters into China, the Chinese economy will benefit from it.
