Since people don't click through and read articles, it should be pointed out that this is specifically for the Chinese market in order for Apple to try and get back market share in China where they've been falling behind Huawei and others.
Or they could just lower the prices
It's not prices so much as it is the fact that Chinese services are huge for Chinese citizens and not having them is a detriment.
The bloomberg article was paywalled for me, and I didn't see that in OP's link, which is like 3 sentences long.
But honestly, they should've used Alibaba/Qwen for their other markets, too.

Which would get them banned from all government use. Smart call.
Which is so stupid, as it's more secure if Apple (or the government) just hosts it themselves, assuming its not run on-device.
