Anyway, as you know, there are about 600 million people in China, and they speak the same language. It's even almost 1/5 of human beings on the earth. I strongly hope Apple doesn't fall behind Windows in China. I'm really sorry nothing but this might be already late, though.
Tis is daft.

1. China is not unified by language. Mandarin is the state language but it's still not widespread. I have two friends who have been married for 5 years and yet converse mostly in english despite being both from "China" because their dialects are mutually incomprehensible.

2. Windows already has a stronghold in China. Apple is already behind. It's so obvious that I'm surprised it has to be spelled out.

I have some ideas for increasing the share in China.
Apple might as well develop some basic business software for Chinese market by themselves and strongly recommend Chinese governments and companies the software and MacOS's firmness.
Why? When China is already introducing Red Flag Linux and sales of Windows (although pirated or grey market) are already high?

Apple should never do the same mistake in China as they have done in Japan.
Apple made a mistake in Japan? Again, that's silly. Windows is everywhere. And Japan and China are so dissimilar that I doubt that it would be possible to learn from a mistake made in Japan to ensure success in China.

It's a very curious argument you make.
