Sounds like Apple has been working for the Chinese all along and need to be treated like Huawei.

Or that a company operating somewhere, has to follow the laws of that place.

It is the Chinese who are not following historical agreements re Hong Kong: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-40426827

China agreed to govern Hong Kong under the principle of "one country, two systems", where the city would enjoy "a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs" for the next 50 years.

Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region, and would retain certain freedoms, including:

an independent judiciary
multiple political parties
freedom of assembly and speech

The territory has its own mini-constitution - the Basic Law - that enshrines these rights.

It states that "the ultimate aim" is to elect the territory's leader, the chief executive, "by universal suffrage" and "in accordance with democratic procedures".

Sounds like a case of self-interested profit before people, particularly if Apple executives are not prepared to respond.

Sounds like Hong Kong is Chinese and Apple has to follow local laws, to me.
