Depends what device your using. iPhone, definitely not (unless you click something on the website), Mac, probably not, Android, potentially, Windows, highly likely

this location is the reason why apple wants to serialize every part in their products.

Question- is there anything bad that can happen if I only click the link and later close the tab?

Yup as a phone tech I’ve experienced so many scam attempts. Many phones that are scammed off people go to Florida. Maybe shipped maybe torn down, along with phishing attempts to remove iC locks to have a full value device.
Apple tried to make stealing devices not a good idea, but with devices worth so much, the parts definitely are worth it. Most definitely a trafficking ring for Apple devices

It’s pretty dumb but let’s not confuse it with communism.

Literally every stolen iPhone ends up in the same spot. Check this video: https://youtu.be/3Ws3YptLmLQ
Unfortunately, once it’s there it’s too late to retrieve.

Unfortunately, most stolen iPhones that end up in China always end up in this exact location. There’s tons of YouTube videos and articles about it. Once it’s there, it’s too late.

Yeah I have a hard time believing that with how many devices are for sale with iCloud lock on them. If it was easy or at least possible to remove the lock, you’d sure think these large eBay sellers would do it to be able to sell devices for more money. Also iCloud lock is administered through the phone contacting Apples servers when it’s connected to the internet, so removing the lock wouldn’t work unless the device somehow stayed offline from Wi-Fi and cellular data which is unrealistic as doing anything these days needs some form of connection to the internet. The only way to get around the lock would be to change the serial number and IMEI so that way when it phones home to apples server, it would show as a device that wasn’t locked.

They have the software to remove iCloud activation via rootkit so either way our devices are history.

Exactly. Scammers and thieves only keep doing what they do because they get rewards. People need to keep the lights on somehow and if they aren't getting any "business" they will quit and find something else to do.

Rip. Always ends up in this place. No wonder apple stopped producing high-end iPhone models in their Shenzhen Foxconn factory.
