Well then stop making them

You Chinese will have good friends in the NSA, you should go and compare notes with them on the evolution of a police state. Banning whatever you can't control is one of the best means of going forward along those lines. [/sarcasm]

Close down the iPhone factories and outsource them to the US then.

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Falun_Gong]Is the Chinese Communist Party going to start confiscating IPhones[/url] and [url=http://organharvestinvestigation.net/index.html]harvesting their CPU and other internal components and sell them on the black market?[/url]

Such is the way of the Chinese Communist Party. They can declare whatever they want to be a threat to Chinese National Security and if they are serious about this proclamation (which I doubt), IPhone maybe banned. They already banned a perfectly healthy exercise, I wouldn't put anything pass them.

*Sarcasm* Also, didn't Xi JinPing just visited South Korea and visited the Samsung Office? Oh my god, do you think he and the Samsung people made some sort of agreement where Xi will have Iphone outlawed in China so Samsung will have the entire Chinese market pie?

All they have to do is put forward a law to prevent this and if the companies do shit like this sue them.

100% more expensive because it has 100% more freedom!

Can't say I blame them. Did you see all the shit Morgan Freeman's cell phone did to them in The Dark Knight?
