T R A I T O R. And, just like the NBA, Blizzard, Elon Musk and Hollywood, condoning random executions for organ harvesting and imposing China's totalitarian will and values on the rest of the world with their actions. If we don't resist now, the Western world will become even more Orwellian/Kafkaesque.

Re: Apple CEO becomes chairman of China university board
#22For the record, School of Economics and Management (SEM) of Tsinghua University has always been having high caliber business leaders, Nobel Laureate, central bank governor and government officials on their board.[1] e.g.
In fact, I doubt any school has a better advisory board than that of SEM of Tsinghua's, anywhere in the world.
Even Hardvard / MIT / Yale's school dean/provost are on Tsinghua's board. If as an CEO, you aren't invited to the board and you want to be global, you are doing it wrong.

This may be the most A-list group of people I've ever seen assembled for anything. It screams how important China is.

> Tsinghua is not a random Chinese school - it’s China’s Harvard. But it's still not Harvard. The question is, "Why not Harvard? Or any other top school in the US?"
Because China is important. And, unlike the Arab oil producers, China actually has the human capital to create a university that competes with Harvard for prestige. Get used to stuff like this. Tim Cook is about 10 steps ahead of everybody who gives him a hard time for how Apple deals with China.
Why now? Are they using Tim Cook or is he a visionary?

Can you elaborate on the importance and how that factors into Apple’s strategy? Saying that China is important and Tim Cook is Very Smart doesn’t make for a very enlightening comment nor a suitable rebuttal. If you’re onto something, I’d like to know what! :)

That's what the headline did not elucidate well.
People should at least read about Tsinghua University first before automatically judging it for being Chinese: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsinghua_University

It's their MIT. Peking University is their Harvard.
Checking both of these universities' websites, I see that they have social networks listed on their footers. Tsinghua's Facebook and Instagram accounts have been inactive for 2 years, but Peking's are active, both with posts from today.
I find this interesting given the Chinese censorship of these sites. Sure, a VPN would work, but I would be pretty amused if Chinese educational institutions are actually bypassing the censors.

I doubt many (or any) of them do much of anything on the board.
