So now that we know Apple is assisting the Chinese Communist Party in its attempt to squash protests over the country's infamous Zero Covid policy, it naturally follows — since Chinese citizens are literally being beaten in the streets and sometimes in their own homes — that someone, somewhere had to ask Apple CEO Tim Cook some very important questions.

And here it is:

Mr. Cook, do you support the Chinese people's right to protest?

Do you have any reaction to the factory workers that were beaten and detained for protesting Covid lockdowns?

Do you regret restricting AirDrop access that protesters used to evade surveillance from the Chinese government?

Do you think it's problematic to do business with the Communist Chinese Party when they suppress human rights?

An absolutely perfect series of questions!

Met with complete silence from Cook!

Just... wow!

Here's what she means when she asks about the factory workers:

And Tim Apple's got nothing to say.

Boys and girls, this world is getting weird fast.

Buckle up.
