> iPhone made in China is no better than the cotton from Xinjiang.

I think if you'll ask the suppressed people of Xinjiang, you'll find that they disagree.

> It turns out that in spite of all values that Apple promotes, it actually cares about nothing but the profit

How is Apple responsible for the Chinese Zero-COVID policy, and the actions of the Chinese police?

Have you read Apple's extensive policies on Supply Chain standards and ethics? https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/

> Apple has utilized the cheap labor at a level where can never be possible in the civilized world,

I'll just post this here from https://www.semafor.com/article/11/30/2022/apples-chinese-dr...:

> China is also no longer cheap. Wages have skyrocketed, with the average factory worker making $6 per hour on average in 2020, up from less than a dollar in 2006. The average wage of a Chinese factory worker will very soon surpass the U.S. federal minimum wage. For comparison, the average rate for a Mexican factory worker has stayed stagnant at $2 per hour.

Are you suggesting that China's slaves would prefer that the global economy continuing exploiting them?

They are enriching the entity that designed the policies and directs the police.

Yes. Have you read the extensive laws against murder? Does murder still happen?

> China is also no longer cheap. Wages have skyrocketed, with the average factory worker making $6 per hour on average in 2020, up from less than a dollar in 2006. The average wage of a Chinese factory worker will very soon surpass the U.S. federal minimum wage.

No, it won't. Chinese labor law is a joke. Nobody in these factories are actually working 44 hours.
