Apple has been actively moving away from China for a several years now, namely Vietnam, India, and Thailand. The reason is both geopolitical risk and increasing wages in China.
Btw. Unnecessarily horrible working conditions are an issue that should be fixed.
Low-wage is not a bad thing in itself. People from China and India escape malnutrition from countryside to cities, then landfill scavenging into sweatshops. Low-pay and hard work is escape for them and wages increase very gradually until it's cheaper to assemble electronics in some poorer countries.
