No developed country can compete on a level playing field with workers who are paid 50 cents an hour which is why you do not allow totally unregulated trade with them. If you do, you’ll find that you have no viable economy left and you’ll become indentured to those countries.
Commerce and trade should be free of government intervention and that is true today as it was in the days of Adam Smith.
As for Apple, a competitor is able to produce an iPad like device and produce it in the USA with all American workers.
And you would be free to buy that product or go with the Apple product.
Or we can have the government dictate to Apple where there products must be manufactured.
