Yes that is true. It's not clear where the Chinese consumer is right now, though. Also, in China, there is a lot of pressure from the government to "buy local" (i.e., Oppo, Xioami, Huawei, etc.); toting an iPhone might keep you from getting that Party position, which can't be good for sales. And we know already that European/US consumers have been crushed and aren't going to get any relief. At some point even Apple fan-boyz run out of money.

If you want to trade the China opening, why not do so more directly with KWEB, et. al., or even WYNN?
The Chinese consumer wants to go to parties and festivals and cruises and vacations. They aren't different than other consumers after lockdown
