Apple needs to grasp the situation.   China simply has turned into a grand example of a hostile country.   They have far too many known programs to literally steal technology and of course the related spying programs.   It is hilarious that nobody at Apple has recognized that the worlds relationship with China is not sustainable.   Beyond that there is likely intelligence that Apple does't know about driving the Tik-Tok ban.

In a nut shell Apple needs to stop making excuses and get out of China ASAP.

You're the one who needs to grasp the situation.  If China was stealing Apple's technology, and pulling out of China would stop that, then Apple would do it.  There is zero evidence that China is stealing Apple's technology, and zero evidence that China uses WeChat to steal technology from any US company. 

But under your illogical reasoning, Apple should ignore the lack of any evidence, and simply stop doing business in China based on the rants of madman who will be out of office come January, or the generalized vague allegation that China "is a bad state."

Before you start typing furiously away at your keyboard, gather up your evidence (facts) that support WeChat is used to steal US technology, and one example of the "many known programs to literally steal technology and of course the related spying programs."

• New Mail items are not being reflected by the usual red icon Badge denoting how many unread messages I have; settings in Notifications -> Mail -> (Account Name) are correct and Badges are enabled... Only after opening the Mail app then returning to the Home screen does the Badge appear on the Mail icon
• Mail function "Show Related Messages" previously available by swiping on a message thread to the left and hitting the three dot menu, is gone, thus when I try to file a message thread into a sub-folder now, it doesn't move my responses to messages, only received messages
• Notification sync between Apple Watch S3 upgraded to watchOS 6 is broken; cleared notifications on Watch do not clear on iPhone, and vice versa, and also some notifications do not sync between them at all
• Notifications from app Zoom (video conferencing app) are completely broken
• iMessage in the Cloud syncing to iOS 12.x devices no longer consistent; other devices still on 12.x are showing large gaps in messages originally responded to on iOS 13 device, and still not synced after 24 hours
• Swiping between home screens on iPhone X occasionally "gittery" and hesitant
• Safari Device Tabs (area showing all open Safari tabs on all iCloud connected devices) gone from iOS 13 Safari, and new Safari 13.0 on macOS; guessing this isn't a bug but deliberate removal to force users to use Handoff
• In Dark Mode, in Settings app (as an example), when quickly scrolling up or down in any list (iPhone X), the vertical edges of the dark-grey background of an element appears to disappear partially during the scrolling; does not occur in Light Mode
