Because they subsidized the technology and industry in China. If Apple bids out a contract to build a manufacturing plant in the U.S. and someone makes a bid that looks good, they take it. If it got halted because the company was using minors and paying illegal migrants under the table to build it, it is a terrible thing, but it wasn't Apple that did those things, and in ruth I would say Apple may have grounds to sue for the impact it would have on their image. The company that made the bid and did illegal acts should not have done those things.

Apple and BYD don't construct manufacturing plants... They bid them out to companies that do. They should come down hard on those companies if they are using illegal practices to make cheaper bids to encourage companies to go with them. The biggest fault they would have is if they found out it was going on and didn't bring it to authorities.
