With Apple, if the adversary is a nation state that is willing to fight to affect it's bottom line, Apple just falls in line, like an obedient lap dog. Cases in point: China iCloud & Saudi app that tracks women - in both cases Apple did what the respective governments demanded, while making a show of force in America over the FBI's request to unlock an actual terrorist's phone. In this case, things can get interesting if these companies have Chinese government backing. WeChat went through a similar fight with Apple, where Apple was trying to shove it's app store guidelines as justification for denying extensions on WeChat, but as usual, Apple curled up in the corner the moment there Chinese government got involved.
