Apple removes the Bible for the Colson Center. I'm John Stone Street with the point.

Two months ago, Apple quietly removed a Quran app and a Bible app from its app store in China.

That was at the request of the Chinese Communist Party. Apple claimed that they had to do it in order to, quote,

obey local laws. This is the same $2.8 trillion company with an inclusion in diversity initiative that claims a long-standing

commitment to making the world more just. According to its American website, that means hiring

a more racially diverse group of employees. But it's not clear how that same commitment jives

with this move to suppress religious literature and how it helps the 1.4 billion people living

under increasing religious oppression

in China. Too many companies are like Apple in this sense, throwing around words like inclusive

injustice in light of cultural demands, but will not risk the profit opportunities in China

and stand against oppression and genocide there. I am grateful for those celebrities, those politicians,

those companies, and those public voices that are willing to say what is true about China,

even at great personal and financial costs. They are just too rare these days.
