American corporation Apple Inc hopes China’s Baidu will help the company design AI tools the Chinese Communist Party is sure to support. The company also sent their CEO, Tim Cook, to Beijing to seek favor with the CCP in an effort to pump flagging China iPhone sales.
So far, no American politician has expressed any concern in this partnership, just as they continue to vote for and support entanglement with a nation whose ideological leaders are committed to destroying the American republic, a goal shared by America’s corporate elites and their political dance partner, the DNC.

Apple’s aspirations for AI in its upcoming iOS release are widely known. Speculation has been rife about potential collaborations to integrate generative AI into the iPhone. Recent reports suggest that Apple is exploring various avenues to secure top-notch AI models. News emerged this week indicating discussions between Apple and Google regarding the licensing of Google’s impressive Gemini AI for future iOS 18 functionalities. Additionally, Apple has engaged in talks with OpenAI regarding the integration of their widely acclaimed ChatGPT technology. However, the latest development reveals Apple’s interest in an AI partnership within China.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple has been in talks with Baidu to leverage the Chinese tech giant’s AI models. This potential collaboration would enable Apple to offer AI capabilities to its Chinese customers while complying with local regulations mandating official approval for AI systems.
Unlike global heavyweights such as Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which are absent in China due to censorship, over 40 domestic AI models have received government approval. Among these is Baidu’s highly acclaimed ErnieBot.
