You are looking for 'justice' in the wrong place. Our governments need to make doing business with China illegal. I'll wait to see when that happens (certainly not in my lifetime)!
I am completely in agreement with you that China/CCP have very obviously violated the agreement, and have done for some time now. These latest changes though were where the HK citizens knew would be a point of no return.
Unfortunately, we all know how this will end. With these kids—and probably their families!—imprisoned and the murdered by the state.
Then their organs will be harvested and sold to the highest bidders/wealthiest. Which we should call what it is: cannibalism. What else do you call it when human beings consume other human beings for parts!?
No one in any democracy should be doing business with China. They should be treated like the pariah state that they truly are. But until our government addresses this, businesses will continue to invest and sell products in China. It is their fiduciary duty to their companies to maximize profit and...sell to all available markets. China needs to be made 'unavailable.'
The U.S. thought that capitalism would ultimately democratize China. We're seeing that this will not happen—not without another revolution, and probably a great deal of bloodshed. Those monsters in power have no plans to ever relinquish control. China is the dream-nation for murderous totalitarians everywhere.
Apple, and the rest of the companies in the entire globe, exist for the express purpose of making money.
Making money is the cornerstone of capitalism, right along with competition to make said money.
And capitalism is amoral.
Thus, the
expectation of egalitarianism from
any company is disingenuous at best.
If American companies don't do business in China, someone else will.
It is not the role of companies to democratize countries. It is the role of the
people in the country, and of foreign governments by leading by example and diplomacy (not war).
All that said, I am not Chinese, and I've never even been to China, let alone conversed with someone from there. So ALL the info I have regarding the country is hearsay.
But what's going on over there is, at least in part, the consequence (and perhaps overreaction?) of centuries of unchecked Euro-centric capitalism, ever since Europeans developed sails and cannons, and decided to conquer the entire globe in one form or another. That, coupled with human base instincts of greed and power.
The issue is nowhere near as simple as standing up and expressing (justified) dissent, although we have to start somewere. But no one want's to discuss or even acknowledge the root cause, we just try to address the visible symptoms. Beacuse no one wants to go: "oh man, WE started this".
