My point still holds valid since any company that uses Chinese manufacturing instead of US manufacturing would come under fire from you. The thing is, Apple can't get the results they want from companies here and so they go where they can (there was an article about this recently on HN). American consumers get the products they want, China gets the opportunity to improve the quality of life for its citizens, and Apple continues to do what it wants. It's a win win win situation.
You're arguing for companies to use US manufacturing and that's a naive view in the long run. Any student of economics will understand that it's a GOOD thing for the market to not be controlled the way you want (arbitrary limits on where Apple should and should not go). Placing restrictions would make the market not as competitive as it could be and just result in greater inefficiency.
