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

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

THIS RIGHT HERE^^^^^

This is becoming really concerning

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

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

Actually it is the Chinese who are not following historical agreements re Hong Kong.

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".

Sure, and I agree, but that seems to be a separate matter. China is an authoritarian regime and all that..

Both are true.
