This kind of things not only happen in China, but elsewhere as well
Apple to lose iPhone trademark in Brazil: Source
RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazil’s copyright regulator will strip Apple of the right to use its iPhone trademark in Latin America’s biggest market and granted the trademark to a local company that registered it first, a source familiar with the decision said yesterday.
Gradiente Eletronica, a Brazilian consumer electronics maker, registered the “iphone” name in 2000, seven years before Apple launched its now virally popular smartphone.

Good news to shareholders? The management has no good reason to say no to the request IMO
Bruised Apple could return cash to stockholders
SAN FRANCISCO — Apple’s board and management are actively discussing the return of more cash to shareholders and considering a proposal that it issue preferred stock.
Apple shares jumped 3 per cent after the world’s most valuable technology company responded to a call by activist investor David Einhorn (picture) of Greenlight Capital for the iPhone-maker to return more of its US$137.1 billion (S$170 billion) in cash. He had also urged shareholders to vote against a proposal by the company to eliminate preferred stock without investors’ approval.

I prefer the company to keep the cash than to distribute it. It is a technology sector so it is highly competitive. Good reserve of cash allows them for R&D, to acquire new technologies, or even sustain through the bad time etc.
Investors should be the last thing they should bother. If Apple bends towards investors it is not Apple anymore.
A company which put investors' (shareholders') interest last will never worth to put money in.
I assume you mean put investors' long term over short term interest. Apple cash hoard of $137 billion is too much, even base on reasons quoted IMO

Investors gun for Apple’s cash pile
LONDON - One of Wall Street’s biggest hedge fund managers is suing Apple in an attempt to force the iPhone maker to give more of its US$137.1 billion (S$170 billion) cash pile to investors.
Mr David Einhorn, the outspoken head of Green Light Capital, said Apple must “examine all of its options to unlock the growing value of its balance sheet for all shareholders”.

9 things Apple could do with US$137 billion
NEW YORK - Apple has recently come under attack for its practice of stockpiling cash. At the end of last year, the company was sitting on US$137 billion - and the heap keeps growing.
Corporations normally don't hoard cash the way Apple does. They keep enough around for immediate needs, and either invest the rest in their operations or dole it out to shareholders in the form of dividends or stock buybacks. If they need more cash for, say, an acquisition, they borrow it.
