Shut out of China? How so?
It's been a few years since last I was in China, but I remember visiting several Apple flagship stores and seeing iPads and iPhones everywhere on the street.

Not shut out completely, but the government is pushing back: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/22/technology/apple-no-longer...

Free trade aside this is a smart move for India: Apple has saturated the markets in the west and needs Asian consumers for future growth. It's been shut out of China despite being based there from a production standpoint. If India can force Apple to shift production to India in exchange for access to its consumers that would be a great coup.
