> The Chinese government forcibly installs spyware on people’s phones today. What Apple does or doesn’t do is of no consequence to them.

Did someone say it was ok? The point is that it’s silly to say this CSAM mechanism makes a difference in China.

Does the US government have the power to order Apple to scan everyone’s phones for politically undesirable images?

I don’t think so.
