I was hoping that it was a golden statue of Donald Trump, that would have been much cooler and much more appropriate for kissing the feet of the King.

And pretty much everything else you buy benefits slave labor in china or elsewhere. You literally can’t escape it. Apple is not the sole problem here.
There’s no sole company to blame for global issues, but you can sure as hell stop consuming products from companies who so openly and shamelessly bend the knee to the fascist Trump.
That’s a constant across all of digital technology. So the only way to avoid it is to not use the technology.
But if you do, buying Apple means you are supporting the base level slave labour in China + support for Trump + a locked in ecosystem + a cycle of planned obsolescence. There are other products you can buy that subtract from this equation and may add in some benefits.
