Chinese Tech CEO Compares Apple With Hitler
A Chinese tech CEO has criticized Apple by comparing the company to Hitler.
Jia Yueting, the CEO of Chinese video site LeTV.com, posted a strange graphic, equating Apple to Hitler on his verified page on Chinese social networking site Weibo. He called out the "iOS arrogant domination" model with an animated commentary on the company's business model.
The post featured a cartoon portraying Adolf Hitler giving the "Heil Hitler" salute while wearing an armband commonly worn by Nazis, but in place of the swastika symbol is the Apple logo. The Hitler-esque character is standing in front of yellow caution tape, opposite a group of smiling kids on a backdrop of sunshine and wind turbines, who are meant to represent the Andriod OS, Mashable noted.
The graphic has the headline "Freedom vs. Arrogance" and a subtitle that translates "How can we change so that we can improve the industry?"
"Apple's closed loop mode greatly curbs technological innovation, hinders the industrial progress and hurts the interests of users. Everyone is worshipping Apple," a portion of Jia's post accompanying the image translated.
