      It’s not the manufacturing that Apple is scared of losing, it’s the Chinese market itself. There’s over a billion people in China and Apple makes a lot of money selling them Phones and iPads.

      Apple manufacturing moved a lot out of China. China still has a lot of the raw materials they need, and in quantities they need them, but recently Apple knows it needs to be faborable to them especially right now, if for nothing else to preserve the Chinese market share they currently have and try and keep relationships amicable post manufacturing move.
