  It doesn’t. Which is why Xiaomi still generates money for China while Apple does not.

    Then I don't get your opening statement at all.

    Also, Apple still manufactures a lot in China, which generates economy through job openings.

      Not really a lot. They have some manufacturing, but more than most of it’s out of china by now.

        You said:

        Xiaomi picking up the sales Apple lost by moving manufacturing out of China. They had to know that move would tank their Chinese user base.

        They haven't abandoned China yet at all, so I initially treated that as a weird explanation for Apple's market share fall, but that doesn't follow either.

        What the heck did you mean, then?
