So why do you think half of Apple's market cap would disappear?

Anywhere? Apple has $200B in cash, they could have factories in Manhattan if they wanted to.
> Did Yahoo or Microsoft leave China after the CPC banned Google?
Google hadn't made investments on the scale Apple has. Lots of investment would be scared off by China effectively nationalizing Apple's massive capital investments. A more immediate impact would be the retaliation against Chinese exports to the US.
The whole thought exercise is ridiculous, why is China going to risk it's own economy and stability for WeChat tips?
This is what I think Apple is hoarding cash for, they'll want to move a shit load back to the US if they can get the tax break for it and then I think we'll see them spend big on automated manufacturing in the US and, to some degree, Europe.
