“[N]early 50 percent of Apple suppliers are located in China as of 2019. In recent years, Apple has added more contract factories in China and employed hundreds of thousands of Chinese to assemble Apple devices…  Apple’s reliance on China represents an enormous liability. The lack of an off-ramp from the Chinese government’s “zero Covid” policy means Apple’s supply chain and the company’s profitability are at the mercy of one man — China’s dictator-for-life, Xi Jinping…  While Apple prides itself on being a good global corporate citizen for supporting the environment and human rights elsewhere, the company choses [sic] to ignore environmental issues and human rights violations in China.  The company’s reputation has suffered after repeatedly kowtowing to Beijing’s authoritarian demands.  For example, in 2019, Apple, urged by the Chinese government, removed a police-tracking app used by Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters.  Apple has [also] been widely criticized for its “one company, two systems” hypocrisy…“
