What is America's Role in dealing with Apple's support of Anti-Human Rights China and the CCP? Should we act?

People die in wars, famines and plagues all over the world every day, Dripping Poop, and you don't do a thing to help.
....

Don't assume that because YOU don't give a shit about anyone but yourself that everyone else is as hollow and rotten as YOU are, asshole.

I don't have to assume you are rotten and hollow, that comes through loud and clear in your posts.

And the sad thing is, there's some school district somewhere that employs you.

Got an example, big mouth?

Every angry little thing you say, Dripping Poop.

That’s not an example, big mouth.

Sure it is... maybe you need to read your posts, which have little substance and a lot of anger.

Everything you post, Dripping Poop.

Now, if I had to find one of your posts with substance, that would be a challenge.

You're full of shit, as always. Stop shooting your fat mouth off if you can't even try to support your hypocritical claims, fool.

Sure, they're a private company, but because they are so blatantly acting against American morals.. shouldn't we sanction them for their immoral actions in all instances within our physical and economic borders? We do it to nations all the time.

Anyone who has a problem with the moral actions or business ethics of Apple shouldn't be buying their products.

On the other hand, since literally everything we buy is, in some part or completely, built in China, if you wish to boycott every product by companies who deal with China, you may have to alter your lifestyle a tad...

And that's a good point. If we want China to change, we need to engage them, not have unnecessary hostility with them.

Here's the reality. The Chinese want to BE us.

Sounds like you're missing a lot of common options.

If a foreign gov't or foreign/private entity is acting against you, or inhumane... and they are used by you, you can sanction them to conform to your standards if they want to continue to enjoy your business/use.

Rwanda genocide? Hey.. just don't spend money there or support them! It's on them!

Nobody is talking about China changing... I'm talking about Apple conforming to western civilization... and if they give up human rights for business, we should sanction them for it until they themselves demand better treatment of human beings from their business partners.

Yeah, right. As you wingnuts say every time we demand better behavior from companies, Apple is in the business of making money for its investors. Full Stop. if that means following China's laws, then they follow China's law.

The government doesn't care, why should Apple?

They can follow Chinas laws, but that doesn’t mean we have to continue to do business with them either.

No, but we will.

 

[fncceo]

and if they give up human rights for business, we should sanction them

Who is we?

Why just Apple? Why not Avon, or GE, or AT&T, or Proctor & Gamble, or Nabisco, or hundreds of other US companies that manufacture their products in China?
