Apple is too big for that, at some point comrades from the Politburo start getting involved, as it hurts business.

Agreed. The Polit buro gets a cut of everything. The kind of jobs and wealth Apple creates in China? Massive. (Besides, I thought there was no copyright in China as "everything belongs to the people".

wonder, how much percent retail sales device apple have in china and what losses Apple will be there in these regards? If it was not China i thought that it just piar action. Now, many people talk about this company. Yestarday i did not know about Goophone nothing. But i remember history about iPad...

Not just that, China needs to draw a line in the sand or they will be seen as totally toxic by Western companies. That would mean less jobs, investments and ultimately http://www.fullissue.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Guilloti... for the leaders.

Doing this to Apple can get you in a few newspapers, and that's not good for China Inc :)
