Apple does have some degree of leverage over the CCP too. I realize its not possible today... but in 3-5 years, Apple may be in a position to move some/all of their manufacturing elsewhere. The direct job losses are one obvious problem for the CCP but a company like Apple saying "We're moving production to Taiwan/Vietnam/US because of security risks in China" would be catastrophic for the (tech) manufacturing industry as a whole in China. No sane Western based CEO will want to be seen taking that security gamble. Do I think Apple would do that and forgo the massive Chinese smartphone market? That's another story.
