Apple faces significant stakes in China, highlighted by its reliance on local manufacturing for iPhones and the impact of potential tariffs from a trade war. With the recent exemption of iPhones from reciprocal tariffs by the U.S. government, Apple aims to protect its profit margins and maintain shipping efficiency.

Tim Cook has navigated these complex dynamics while fostering relationships with Chinese suppliers and government to ensure continuity in production.
