    Ok no seriously, so as far as I know Apple is vertically integrated for their non-semiconductor manufacturing. So you can’t even make the excuse of “no, a Chinese company runs the factories and Apple just buys their services!” They own their factories and is managed centrally from California.

      Even if they did own the factories, the specifications being followed were set by their buyers - the west. If someone orders a pile of crap it would be bad business to make a bar of gold and send it to them. And lastly, if the products weren’t to these specifications why would business continue on the side of the west?
