- "If you criticize the PRC they can hurt your company's bottom line by denying you access to that labor, but your company can still move production to a different country"

The victim in this scenario isn't the company—it's the US speakers being censored by a foreign dictator, with this company acting as an intermediary. I.e. in this thread, we're not talking about Tim Cook's speech; we're talking about Jon Stewart's speech, and Tim Cook censoring him at the behest of Beijing.

I see. It feels ethically wrong to be suppressed by a foreign government through your employers, but I don't think it should be illegal. If it were illegal for your employer to suppress speech on foreign governments, would the PRC have standing to sue you for libel?
