The Times, quoting an insider, said that the former host of “The Daily Show” told his staff that Apple’s executives were particularly concerned about the show taking on China and artificial intelligence.  

 

Stewart and his staff also predicted they’d face more pushback as the 2024 presidential campaign season accelerated, another source said.

China is Apple’s third largest consumer market after Europe and the Americas. Those concerns were always going to be on a collision course with Stewart’s application of inquisitive skepticism to, say, the problematic repressive policies of a certain Asian superpower.

 

"The Problem with Jon Stewart" could have chosen to ignore China, but for how long? That nation owns nearly $860 billion of the United States’ debt. It’s a major trade and manufacturing partner and influences our politics to a significant degree. Most of the newest iPhones are made there.
