That's not true. IMHO, this is part of a larger story (Apple's obsequious compromises with China), and the NY Times has previously reported on other parts: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/17/technology/apple-china-ce....
It's seems The Information broke this story, but I doubt it will be very long before other outlets catch up.
Explain those "political reasons," please.
No, I suspect you have things wrong in this case, but you're being so vague it's difficult to figure out where the error is.
> NYT is extremely predictable - both in its choice of what to inform its viewers as well as what will fit their political stance (globalists).
Even if that's true, it's no reason to assume they wouldn't publish this story for some ideological reason, especially given they've published very similar things in the past.
This?

It's just a "The Information reported..." rehash. Everything about this except the original story that I've seen so far has been like that.
How is this not the biggest blow to Apple in terms of its relationship with China?
