Apple did not specify what content it was referring to but Mr Hao told the Financial Times he believed the offending content consisted of three books by Chinese writer Wang Lixiong, whose works are mostly banned in China. http://link.ft.com/r/2SRI11/7ZIZFB/JI67RT/II5XOI/SUM25N/HK/h?a1=2013&a2=4&a3=4 Tools Your account    Portfolio Email Briefings    Price alerts Keyword alerts    RSS feeds Subscribe to FT.com     © THE FINANCIAL TIMES LTD 2013 ABOUT THIS EMAIL You have received this email because you have signed up from the NBE preference page.
