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. 

I suspect the reason is that the Chinese government is very upset over the banning of Huawei from being involved in the American and other western countries' roll of their 5G networks. This might be a signal they are thinking of banning the iPhone 12. They probably would not ban it outright but delay it with red tape etc.
