I am mad at all of them for their labor practices. Even if I wasn't, one company doing something nefarious isn't vindicated because others are doing same.

Are they ‘doing something nefarious’?

At what point did they become aware that forced labor was being used, and what are they trying to do to change the situation?

If you don’t know the answer to these questions, it seems unclear that they are ‘doing something nefarious’.

I think doing business in China inevitably creates exposure to these problems.

I think people knew China had problems like this when they started investing there.

However I don’t think anyone anticipated China getting worse in this way.

I agree; it just seems to me the discussion is framed in such a way to paint Apple as being uniquely evil in this regard.
