I hope you realize that you are only saying this because you happen to be born at this particular point in human civilization.

For a very long time, people thought slavery is right, including the people who wrote your constitution (assuming your are from US). It is easy to say that slavery is wrong now, but not in 18th century in the US. Think of China as the US, a few centuries ago, when human rights are still a concept being explored.

And you're only saying that because you were born when and where you were. It's not universally accepted that ethics are relative like that.

Otherwise I'm not sure what you're saying. That slavery was relatively OK in the 18th century so Apple enforcing government censorship is now, too?

It's also worth pointing out that colonial contemporaries were appalled by slavery, though they didn't have the power to universally outlaw it.

Right, but nobody is saying we should force China to do anything, we are speaking about Apple, which is not a Chinese company.
