As we've seen, Apple has shown it's willingness to agree with the Chinese government's wishes several times. First by not allowing users of it's Chinese app store to download VPNs, then taking Skype off the Mainland China app store, as well as handing over control of Chinese iCloud operations to a Chinese firm, and also by removing apps with call kit in them from the Chinese app store.
Now, we should also note that Apple makes quite a bit of money from China. According to Apple's latest earnings call [PDF] for Q1 2018, they made $17.956 billion from China. So, this strategy seems to be working.
Discussion Questions
In what ways are Apple accommodating the Chinese government a necessity?

What problems can be had from accommodating China, but not being so accommodating to other governments?
What can other companies learn from Apple's dealing with the Chinese government?
