Apple Attack Backfires for Chinese State Broadcaster
A report by China Central Television questioning the integrity of Apple Inc. has instead ended up shining an unkind spotlight on the state broadcaster’s own reputation thanks to what appears to be a poorly edited post on the country’s most popular Twitter-like microblogging service.
The post, published Friday night on a Sina Weibo account registered to Taiwanese-American actor Peter Ho, came shortly after CCTV aired a World Consumer Rights Day broadcast accusing Apple of being biased against Chinese consumers in its warranty and customer service policies.
