"To the attention of consumer and misunderstanding, our sincere apologies."
Although apple company enjoys the support from the Chinese consumers, in the fierce attack and to the importance of the Chinese market seems to have convinced the company smooth relations with the Chinese consumers and authorities.
The People's Daily newspaper ran an editorial on Wednesday the title is "down with apple's unparalleled arrogance."
"We have the advantage of western people here, sneak in," the paper wrote. "If there is no sin against the risk of Chinese consumers, it also makes the lower management cost, so, why not?"
Chinese observers accused of hypocrisy and points out the value of the People's Daily, when Chinese enterprises for food safety and pollution associated with other scandals, the newspaper has been silent stone.
