Puerto Rico was listed separately from the United States, and it's clearly not a political statement. I think Apple is safe here. Apple should turn this around and say China is showing its ignorance on US sovereignty over Puerto Rico :p

Apple's getting a LOT of business from China. It can't and won't afford to piss them off.

Apple's got a market cap of $1 trillion and $285 billion in cash. It can afford to do whatever the hell it wants, frankly.
