Corrected the subject line for you.

Tell you what: Go operate a business in China (you know, for profit)
and see how well you do with their laws on a myriad of issues.

Same excuses used by tyrants and criminals all the time. "If I didn't do it, someone else would."
"We have to obey the laws of the country we are in."

No tyrants, criminals and dictators tell people of other countries how they should act in their own countries.
You should obey the laws of the country you are in.

Unfortunatly some seem to think they are above the law.

Wholly different. That was an abuse of an immunity position in the face of a tragedy and criminal act. Apple is (by any Western standard) supporting criminality.
Apple earns what, $200 billion a year? They of course couldn't just WALK away on principal, could they? Ever last CENT MUST be had!!!

No more than anyone can refuse not to buy something that is made in china or has any part of it been made in china.

Same way I could have refused to buy anything made in the USA because of Trump.
