China is not the only cheap manufacturing hub. If Apple wanted to, they could be investing their 100's of billions (instead of stock buy backs they have been doing for years) in alternative locations to build their capability in other geographies.
Apple is still doing China because it wants to, not because it has to. At their size they have the time and money to invest in multiple locations and spread their risks.
