Isn't that how power works in general? Why would they pick a fight with a government just to prove they are tough? If you're gonna lose, don't fight.

It isn't power that makes Apple comply but the value of the Chinese market.
Russia's market isn't that attractive but it's doing ok and it can take advantage of the requirements China enforces anyway. That is, there is no point for companies to leave Russia when they're complying to similar demands in China anyway.
