it's interesting how all the english version of this story has such a negative spin on it
the chinese version (i'm unsure if this is the original news piece, though) from xinhua (very respectable news paper in china) actually states in the VERY first sentence that AAPL and CMB have actually reached a preliminary agreement, and that the introduction of iphone to china is not only imminent but should be materialising soon. here's the link: http://news.xinhuanet.com/internet/2008-01/12/content_7406144.htm
if the english versions are indeed based on this article, seems like someone is trying to falsly manipulate the market (hey, since AAPL has been down so much lately, and with macworld approaching tomorrow, why not spread some more fud to kick the share price down and pick up more cheap stocks, ai?)

Could be, or maybe it's the general negative view the West has on everything Chinese?

Very interesting indeed. Your explanation makes sense, and we shall hear about it tomorrow... ;)
