It would be a bad idea to follow China ...
Addition - it's more than three years old, but worth remembering now:
How Tim Cook Surrendered Apple to the Chinese Government (YouTube link)
Here is an alternative Invidious link -- (12 min video)
Apple is making billions of dollars integrating into countries with authoritarian regimes. Even if it means helping to cement the power of the ruling elite or enabling egregious abuse of human rights. And there doesn’t seem to be anything Apple wouldn’t do for the sake of growth and expansion. Apple cites compliance with local laws as the reason for giving human rights abuse a go. But the actions of the most valuable company in the world go far beyond compliance with the law.
Is there an article with the same information as the video? I very much prefer text.
The first link in my comment (here again: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-44870508) tells more or less the same story as the video, but I don't know of a text version for the video unfortunately.
