They will naturally trend towards short to medium term profit maximization within the given legal constraints.
The boundaries for corporate behaviour have to be established by elected governments.
In the case of China that could mean customs duties, sanctions and stricter regulations for moving part of your supply chain there.
But expecting them to act morally out of their own volition seems foolish to me. Note also that I explicitly said publicly traded companies. Large ones always have a diverse ownership structure with institutional investors. A CEO that hurts profits by acting in the public interest will probably be replaced pretty soon, forced to fall in line, or have to otherwise do enough to offset.
The only way to motivate them is external pressure or benefits.
Eg Apple has probably decided to focus on user privacy to provide a contrast with Google and the Android ecosystem and maintain a good relationship with customers, not because privacy is "good".
The situation is somewhat different with private companies, where there are few owners that can actually have an impact.
Public corpos only incentive is to create value for their shareholders.
[Edit] Sorry for the snark. In a market economy, the only way companies like Apple might act in the same way that compassionate human beings would, is if it were in the interests of their bottom line. Perhaps articles like this will hit critical mass, and Apple will put out a statement, carefully composed to ensure that China doesn't lose face. Perhaps they'll do something tangible.
Come back 12 months later and nothing will have changed.
