Newspaper article in China refers to an application available in its store Apple, and is said to helps protesters locate police.
Τstate media in China today blamed the Apple, that it supports pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong and warned the American technology giant that it would suffer the consequences of its "stupid and daring" decision to launch an application through which protesters could locate police.
An article in the People's Daily, the organ of the Communist Party, refers to an application available in the Apple Store, which allegedly helps protesters locate police in Hong Kong.
"The approval of this application by Apple, "he is obviously helping the protesters," the article reads. "Does that mean Apple intends to be an accomplice to the protests?" The article then warns that "the map application is just the tip of the iceberg."
The article claims that a song that defends its independence Hong Kong has appeared in the "Apple Music Store" of the city.
"No one wants to implicate Apple in the ongoing riots in Hong Kong. "But people have reason to believe that Apple is confusing business with politics and even illegal actions."
Apple, which has a strong presence in China, was not immediately available for comment.
The demonstrations in Hong Kong started four months ago and the occasion was the government plan to extradite suspects to the Chinese mainland.
In the process, however, the protests turned into a wider protest movement calling for democratic freedoms and an end to police violence, the biggest challenge for Hong Kong-dominated China since 1997 when it took over from Britain. .
China does not allow disagreements on such a sensitive issue and in recent weeks has been systematically targeting foreign companies and organizations for the support it believes it is providing to protesters.
The National Basketball Association came under fire in China this week after Houston Rockets manager Daryl Morey posted a Twitter message in support of the protesters.
The famous American jewelry house Tiffany and the Hong Kong airline Cathay Pacific have also been targeted.
