So, this story from yesterday where a Bloomberg report said that a list of Apple products had been banned in China just got interesting. News.com is saying that Apple isn’t being banned in China:
But Bloomberg and/or its sources may have confused some facts of the matter, thereby drawing the wrong conclusions. A report from Chinese news site Caixin cites sources close to China’s Ministry of Finance who say that Apple simply neglected to apply to be included in the procurement list, which actually is geared toward energy-saving products, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Why Apple didn’t file an application or at least not the right application is unknown, though authorities are currently looking into the issue, AppleInsider said. Caixin’s take is that Apple may have simply failed to submit the necessary documents, including energy-saving product certification, which are required to make the list.
Now Bloomberg stands by its story, but one has to wonder what the truth is. When I get it, you’ll see it here.
