Yet to speak about compliance or violation of the AML, as the antimonopoly law is sometimes called, mischaracterizes the situation. In the other case?the far more significant of the two?Apple is seeking 1 billion yuan ($145.3 million) for violations of China?s Anti-Monopoly Law. Whatever the merits of the anti-monopoly case?and I am expressing no view on merits here?an Apple win will almost certainly undermine U.S. national security. The issue is whether Qualcomm, the world?s leader in chips for mobile phones, violated the Anti-Monopoly Law. As an initial matter, Apple vs. Qualcomm is an ordinary dispute between two giants over?what else??money.
