The Chinese who slave 18 hours a day making nothing wages do a great job making Apple products. Apple is a very iconic brand to the left as the left is very concerned about working conditions and wages. That concern will not interfere with having the latest i-Phone.
Apple is a very important brand for the right.
Funny you should mention the Chinese...Apple has been trying for years to penetrate that market with very little success to date.
It will be interesting to see whether or not that changes over the next year as the Chinese trade imbalance with the US unwinds.
