I disagree, Apple is acting exactly as it claims are its ethics, here. The part that needs discussion is how it prioritizes adhering to laws versus less specifically defined ethical values.

In my view, China acts abusively in many ways. And the country is currently important to modern global manufacturing.

In my understanding changing where a physical product company manufactures everything is horrifically difficult.

Apple very discretely talks about the ethical standards that it adheres to:

Yes, but if any company has the money and the power to make those changes happen, it's Apple.

[edited op] Yes.

Yeah I agree.

I don't think Apple is overtly advertising any morality in it's policies.

I think that's something that we have to do as shareholders of Apple. Shareholders and customers. We have to say, "Hey we don't like how your company is from our moral perspective. Please change your policies so that they conform to our morality."
