China media criticize Apple due to its contact number

Since the March 15th, China official media, such as People Daily and CCTV, have been criticizing Apple Inc. for its discrimination to Chinese market.

Some may be puzzled why Chinese mainstream media keep criticizing Apple Inc. since Tim Cook the CEO just visited China. Well, the answer may lie in the official contact number of Apple branch in Beijing: 010-64198900(see picture above). The number is very offensive to Chinese government: do you know what happened in June 4th, 1989? The well-known Tian'anmen Square Slaughter, and Chinese government forbids the public to discuss the incident.

So a piece of good advice for Apple Inc. might be: change your official telephone number, if you want to continue your business in China.
