Then Apple products are banned in China tomorrow and Apple loses half its value.

Let’s see how that goes. ;)

Well, Apple also employs millions of Chinese works indirectly through their suppliers. I think the last thing the Chinese gov't wants is a large number of unemployed young males.

Well Apple is fucked, US enters depression. China economy collapses utterly. Xi does not live too long before he either enacts Stalin/Mao level purges or gets shot himself.

To a compromise? How do you think it will go if we do nothing?

The multinational conglomerates who own all manufacturing and research become Chinese in name only instead of American in name only (or is it Irish this week?)

That's how the current patent/trade system works. If it turns out there are products made without proper IP licensing, the USITC can ban importation of infringing goods.
