As the world grapples with the coronavirus pandemic, China has become infamous for its role in allowing the virus to spread. From misleading the World Health Organization about the virus’s contagious elements, restricting the access of global investigators to infected sites, and lying about their infection numbers, China single-handedly stole months of preparation from other countries that have been savaged by the disease.
China has also hoarded masks and personal protective equipment from desperate countries and threatened to withhold critical medicines relied upon by millions of Americans.
It turns out that China actually is the supervillain about which we’ve been warned. This now presents a question for U.S. tech companies, which in many cases, have bound their futures to China. Presented with the undeniable evidence of China’s treachery, will they now finally untangle themselves from the country?
For years, tech companies like Apple have outsourced their manufacturing to China—and, increasingly, bent the knee to Chinese demands. Apple, in particular, has a troubling pattern of acquiescing to China’s commands on things like privacy and data storage. Even Apple’s encryption keys—which unlock the data of millions of users—are stored in China.
As residents of Hong Kong protested for their freedoms in October, Apple, at the behest of the Chinese government, removed an app from its store that was allowing protestors to evade police. This is par for the course for Apple, which dutifully pulled 25,000 apps from Chinese app store after the Chinese government declared them “illegal” in 2018.

The world’s China delusion is over. For three decades, the global elite has assured us that China’s rise to great-power status was “peaceful.” But great powers rarely rise peacefully, and Communist China has hardly been the exception. What China did was mete out its aggression carefully enough to give our elite plausible deniability, then bought their silence.
