The larger mega corportations play the system so it is good to see one of these, Apple, havng to pay their fare share of tax.

Is that demonstrably true?

I’m not being snarky, actually curious. 

Yes. There are numerous extensive studies over decades showing that a more diverse group will produce better work than non-diverse groups.

It is complex. China has been very successful by promoting a homogeneous workforce and society though state control, enforced ideology and censorship. Japan has also had success by keeping its society homogeneous and conformist. I personally enjoy a diverse work place and I think it has many benefits but it is not the only path to success.

India’s government seems to be intent on becoming more like China so Apple could end up right back where it started down the road.

Sadly I think you may be correct 

It is a bit different operating in a democracy. Indian workers cannot be exploited like their Chinese counterparts. May be the workers who make the incredibly profitable iPhone can get more of a share of the profits for their labour through higher wages and better conditions. 

I hope the unions in India are able to ensure better working conditions and rights for the workers compared to how the workers are treated in China
