苹果只是问题的一部分
这个采访绝对棒！信息量也很大。我认为苹果确实在某种程度上应对其供应商的行为负责。但是地方政府的政策执行者以及政府本身依照现有的法律当然也负有责任。一个企业最终要向它的股东们交代，特别是当他们的利润受损时，他们自然要做那些“正确”的事情。地方官员最终应以当地群众的健康利益负责才对。
Apple is only part of the problem
Great and informative interview. I think Apple is definitely responsible for the behavior of its suppliers to some degree, but local regulators and governments are also responsible for upholding existing laws. Corporations are ultimately responsible to their shareholders and will drag their feet to do what's "right" if it harms profitability. Local government officals are ultimately responsible for the well being of their citizens.
