I see a lot of very cogent arguments defending Apple as only following the law when it comes to VPN laws of China. I'm not old enough to know this first hand but I believe the anti-apartheid movement against South Africa was started by students and spread to the corporate world before world governments stepped up to ban doing business with South Africa. This seems to be a specific example of corporate advocacy leading governmental policy. If the Chinese government's rule over the Chinese people is so egregious to the world, I think Apple would be on solid ground if they refused to do business in China and also refused to do business with Chinese companies outside China.
