There is a tangent to this which is that Apple is the largest company in the US and therefore a lot of people hold significant portions of their retirement and investment portfolios in Apple.
Apple has managed to make a lot of profit from China which feeds the demand for stock price growth in the US. I remember that Apple pushed for exemptions to tariffs on devices made in China. I believe Apple was indeed exempted.
Looking at this situation there is a moral dilemma. If Apple is doing something that is unethical that makes money in China, there could be pushback for trying to stop Apple from doing that. That way, the stock price can continue to grow at any cost.
