China could cause huge harm to Apple, but the reverse is also true - how would the US government, other corporations, consumers and investors react to such a news? The ultimate source of most Chinese factory equipment is Europe and US anyway, under extreme political/consumer pressure electronics factories can be setup in a matter of months in US. |

They would react as usual: lots of whingeing, no action, and roll over for a belly scratch afterward.

It takes 9 months to make a baby no matter how many women you get pregnant ...
Many of these equipment manufacturers have entire facilities dedicated to producing equipment solely for Apple. They simply cannot replace that amount of equipment in any timely fashion.
