Why can t the iPhone be banned in China?

There is no ban on the use of Apple mobile phones in China. In response to market rumors that China has banned the purchase of Apple products, an industry authority close to the Ministry of Finance said in an interview with Caixin that the rumors are not true, "both hype and misreading".

Foreign media reported that China's ** procurement list excluded 10 Apple products, including iPad, iPad mini, and MacBook Air. The report quoted an anonymous ** statement that China** has removed 10 Apple products from the purchase list due to security concerns, and said that China** does not plan to buy Apple iPhone 6 either.

This is not the case. On July 28, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued a notice on the 16th phase of the procurement list of energy-saving products, and Apple failed to enter this procurement list. However, this is not China's **ban on purchasing Apple**, it may be that Apple itself has given up on entering the procurement list of energy-saving products**.

The aforementioned industry authority said.

He further explained that in order to optimize the allocation of resources, under the guidance of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the "Procurement List of Energy-saving Products", which is generally updated every six months.

As for why Apple was not included in this procurement list, the relevant parties are verifying. According to the above-mentioned industry insiders, any company that wants to enter this list must submit relevant materials according to the process, such as energy-saving product certification certificates, letters of commitment, etc., and Apple may not submit the required documents and commitments as required.

** In all procurement lists, only some items require mandatory procurement of energy-saving products. For items or projects that are not compulsory, energy conservation is not a mandatory condition, but it may be possible to add points in the project review. This means that as long as there are no special energy-saving requirements in China's ** procurement projects, Apple products can also participate in the bidding.

Prior to the news of Apple's ban in China, Symantec and Kaspersky's antivirus products failed to appear on the "antivirus" procurement list announced at the end of July. Industry insiders believe that this makes the outside world too sensitive to the first procurement list.

Apple's latest quarterly report released on July 23 shows that the company's revenue for the quarter was 100 million US dollars, an increase of 6% from 100 million US dollars in the same period last year; Net profit was $100 million, up 12% year-on-year. Among them, the revenue in Greater China was 100 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 28%.

China does not ban the use of iPhones.

In response to market rumors that China has banned the purchase of Apple products, an industry authority close to the Ministry of Finance told Caixin that the rumors were not true and were "hype and misreading".

This may be Apple's own withdrawal from the list of energy-efficient products**. Industry authorities said.

He further explained that in order to optimize the allocation of resources, the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the "Procurement List of Energy-Saving Products" under the guidance of ***, which is usually updated every six months.

As for why Apple did not make the list, the authorities are investigating. According to industry insiders, any company that wants to be on the list will have to follow the process to submit relevant materials, such as certificates and commitments for energy-efficient products, which may be caused by Apple's failure to submit the required documents and commitments.

On the procurement list of **, only some projects need to be forced to purchase energy-saving products. "For projects that are not mandatory to procure, energy efficiency is not a requirement, but only a possible incentive in a project review. This means that Apple products are eligible to participate in the tender as long as there are no specific energy-saving requirements for China** procurement projects.
