I can't help thinking they probably have the source code already. And if they don't, the Chinese should be their next port of call...

Apple has been kicked of the approved supplier list in China now - the list is updated every 6 months, so that means no government sales format least 6 months. Kaspersky and Symantec have also been thrown out, all security software suppliers on the approved list are now Chinese .


More importantly Russia has sanctioned all food imports from countries that have sanctioned Russia over the Ukraine have been stopped.

Kaspersky is a Russian company isn't it?

Why would China blacklist food shipments from countries that are having an argument with Russia?

Edited the post to make it clearer. Russia had banned all food imports from the EU and the USA.

China has banned Apple products and Symantec and Kaspersky from government contracts.
