In the past two days, a piece of information has appeared about Russia. Roughly speaking: The Russian court refused to ban the sale of Apple mobile phones nationwide. When it comes to Russia and Apple, many netizens are also busy coming to watch. Some people who didn’t learn Chinese well said loudly that Russia is really “macho”. At first glance, there seems to be no problem, but upon closer inspection, the problem becomes huge.
The time has come to test your language proficiency. Many people’s reaction when they first saw this content was that Russia banned the sale of Apple phones, but in fact the title meant that Russia filed a ban on the sale of Apple phones. The lawsuit was rejected. Netizens who have misunderstood the meaning should go back and reflect on it, and improve their Chinese language skills.
Closer to home, the actual situation of this information is that Russia is dissatisfied with Apple, and then filed a lawsuit with the Russian court, hoping to ban the sale of Apple nationwide. However, this request was not recognized by the court, and the Russian court still supported Apple.
The person who filed the lawsuit is a Russian scientist who is an expert in emergency telephones and owns some related patents. Can send a call or text message for help in an emergency. The inventor believed that one of Apple's functions, SOS emergency call, infringed on his personal patent rights, causing him to suffer a lot of losses. Therefore, it filed a complaint with the court, requesting Russia to ban the sale of Apple mobile phones with this SOS emergency calling function.
Speaking of which, the trial process of this case was quite troublesome, because the court of first instance, the arbitration court and the appeals court all failed to pass the scientist’s appeal. It shows that after the first instance and arbitration of this case, the scientist was still dissatisfied and appealed, but the appeal was rejected. In the end, even the Supreme Court did not support the scientist.
It sounds like I feel a little sorry for this scientist. But we cannot question whether the Russian court is giving Apple the green light. From the perspective of a passerby, we have to believe that it is fair. So we don’t need to make a fuss about this matter, but we can think about it. It seems that Apple has never been worried, or it has never been targeted and banned from sales on a large scale. In short, it seems that no country will impose sanctions on Apple. Why is this?
Taking our country as an example, I won’t go into details about how miserable Huawei has been under the sanctions imposed by the United States. Not only can it not be sold in the United States, but it can even not be sold domestically because of its chips. . The United States can impose sanctions on Huawei unscrupulously because it relies on its technological advantages to do whatever it wants.
At this time, many people have asked. Apple has such a big market in our country. If our country also imposes sanctions on Apple and prevents it from being sold in our country, wouldn’t the United States also have a difficult life? If you really think about it, it's too simple. There is a reason why our country does not sanction Apple.
First of all, global trade has trade agreements. We must at least abide by WTO rules. The reason why the United States sanctioned Huawei is because it is shameless and created a reason for itself, which is the "security theory." If our country wants to sanction Apple, it must also create a reason for Apple. But we don’t have this need, because our country is not Lao America, and if the purpose is too obvious, it will cause discomfort and rebound in the market. Lao America is used to being domineering, has strong comprehensive strength to protect it, and can ignore the rules and act arbitrarily. But we have always paid attention to credibility and disdain to do this kind of thing, and now we are at a critical stage of development, so we do not arbitrarily smear a company or even impose sanctions like the United States.
On the other hand, the reason is the actual interest relationship. When we say that Laos and the United States sanction Huawei, it will actually cause a huge loss of interests to itself. Our country's sanctions on Apple will also cause certain loss of interests to our country. You must know that Apple has to pay corresponding taxes every year when it sells a mobile phone in our country.
It is said that Apple can earn hundreds of billions of yuan every year from its taxes. At the same time, Apple has many factories in our country. The existence of these factories has solved the employment problem of our country's population to a certain extent. If we really want to ban the sale of apples, it will definitely have a certain impact on our country.
Finally, banning the sale of apples is not in line with our development philosophy. Our country's development is based on seeking common ground while reserving differences and striving for cooperation. Instead of targeting and imposing sanctions like the United States, we don't want to become what we hate most. Therefore, we should maintain our good qualities and carry forward our country's spirit of fairness and justice. This is the path to sustainable development.
The United States has imposed unfair sanctions on Huawei, but my country has not retaliated and used the same means to deal with Apple. After this comparison, the verdict is clear. Our country is following the path of sustainable development and wants to use technology to slap Laos and the United States in the face. So whether to sanction Apple or not is not that important.
