Nearly everything is made in a country which has concentration camps and forced labour for the export market. It's difficult to avoid. Then again, so is carbon intensive manufacture. So I think this is a natural next question. In both cases someone has to lead the way.

I don't see how a company can simultaneously virtue signal about social justice and the environment, and manufacture hundreds of millions of units of its product in a country which emits twice as much per dollar of GDP as the US and uses "forced labor". All while charging eye-watering amounts for its stuff. But maybe it's just me. Explain how this is not a staggering level of hypocrisy, please.

This. We need to organize protests outside of Apple HQ, press needs to get on it. Big banner news papers.

A $1 trillion dollar company is exploiting labor from concentration camps is totally unacceptable.

Even if it wasn’t, still need to put pressure on Apple to bring back manufacturing.
