Apple would be insane to get into the middle of it.

Apple has been moving production away from China over the past couple of years, no doubt in part due to risk (an Apple spokesperson has specifically cited risk as a reason). They've recently moved some production to suppliers in Vietnam, India, and even some has moved to the US.
