The bolded doesn’t apply to me. It’s a great marketing point for Apple and of course, people will have their own take on this.

At least the USA didn't force Native Americans to install malware on their phones, just in their blankets as far as I know
Yup. West is pretty silent on this topic. Take England for example.
what could the UK say when they themselves are giving national medical data to Google?
When the UK starts extracting organs from their political prisoners like China does, then we can start talking equivalencies...
OTOH, it’s still perturbing that Jobs was able to get a liver transplant from China (allegedly) when he had metastatic cancer which would automatically disqualify most recipients in the West.
No one know if your claim is true. But post-Snowden we do know now that the UK is as bad as any country when it comes to surveillance of its own citizen, regardless of which phone you use.
I believe this lady. Quite sad... Great but very sad article
If Apple is concerned about imprisonment, it would need to leave the US, which imprisons more of its own citizens than any other country in the world:
If surveillance is the issue for Apple, again it would be most concerned about the US, which Snowden revealed years ago to have the world’s most comprehensive program of spying on its own citizens.
So pointing at China and Apple is a joke really. A poor attempt at propaganda.

Muslim wives in China 'are forced to sleep in the same bed as Han men'
Uighur wives from China's Xinjiang Province have been required to 'invite' inspectors into their homes under a mandatory surveillance programme when their spouses are under detention, it is said.
More bad news for what the communist regime does in China. This is pretty messed up

Report: Leaked files show how mass detention of Uighurs was organized
Chinese President Xi Jinping said to show “absolutely no mercy."
Leaked papers on China's Muslim mass detention policies show President Xi Jinping urging the ruling party to use the 'organs of dictatorship' to round up the ethnic minority
The New York Times reported on more than 400 pages of leaked internal policy papers on China's Muslim detention policies.

The Arab world is silent on this.
Leaked Chinese documents show details of Xinjiang crackdown: NYT
Beijing denies any mistreatment of Uighur Muslims and says it’s providing vocational training to stamp out ‘extremism’.
There are Islamic countries that are not Arab.
Anyway the Islamic world is generally silent because Xinjiang is not a problem about religion but extremism. The article even quotes Xi internally saying that the enemy is not Islam itself. When it is an attack on the religious belief itself, it is a personal issue. However when it is not an attack on belief, few people will really care about others thousands of miles away. Add in the economic factors, even less people will try to make it an issue.

Problem is about religion and not extremism. Xi is an atheist and a communist.
Jailing Muslims, burning Bibles, and forcing monks to wave the national flag: How Xi Jinping is attacking religion in China
The officially atheist Chinese Communist Party disapproves of all kinds of grassroots organizations as they are seen to undermine its grip on power.

Opinion | China’s attack on Uighurs isn’t counterterrorism. It’s ugly repression.
The United States will not remain silent when governments commit atrocities under the guise of counterterrorism.

They don't need exploits. Apple moved all iCloud services and the encryption keys to the government-run business GCBD. giving the government free reign to spy on anybody. Apple is pure scum! They are not stupid, they knew what this would be used for, therefore they are complicit! But they are the good guys because they removed an egg from a salad emoji, and bring out a yearly rainbow watchface! Come on people, don't be gullible.

You realize that this is not just in China but other countries and states as well like Israel too. Keep in mind Apple uses 3rd party servers as well.

True, but Israel is an ally and a parliamentary republic, China is a competitor and an authoritarian communist state with a dictator for life. There is a massive difference.
Ally or no ally when it comes to spying or data theft they are pretty much on the same page as China.
Behind closed doors Trump gave China the green light and approval to do so. Muslims in concentration camps was OK for him but had they been Jews in concentration camps that would have been a different story affecting impeachment and reelection for Trump.

Trump told China's president that building concentration camps for millions of Uighur Muslims was 'exactly the right thing to do,' former adviser says
In a private meeting, Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping were only accompanied by their interpreters.

Given that the Trump is currently operating concentration camps at his Mexican border, and US minorities abused by US police, clearly it would be better to focus on domestic matters. Not Chinese.Behind closed doors Trump gave China the green light and approval to do so.

You mean the same "concentration camps" that Obama also ran? By calling them Concentration camps you're doing a huge disservice to the ones that actually suffered and millions that died in real ones like Auschwitz. Even the Japanese internment camps were worse as these American Citizens were forcibly rounded up and their homes and business were forfeited while these illegal aliens and so called asylum seekers crossed illegally on their own accord with the known possibility of being placed in DHS camps.
Green light first then punishment later. Reminds me of how Iraq got green light to attack Iran and invade Kuwait only to later be punished for it

Trump approves bill to punish China over ethnic crackdown
The bill includes sanctions on Chinese officials involved in the mass surveillance and detention of Uighurs and others in the western Xinjiang region.

Matters not a whit which president. The US has now zero credibility on human rights. Clean own house, take children out of concentration camps, stop separating kids from their parents and stop using minorities for target practice on the streets of the US.
After that is sorted, then feel free to accuse others.
