There's nothing to steal. Apple doesn't have any technology that every other tech company doesn't have.
Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, said Friday that Apple’s technology may have been stolen by the Chinese.

The Chicoms are just going to crate cheap clones of the iPhone and the Teslas.
No different than the late 1990s with the advent of cheap personal computers (PCs) made in China.

The appeal of Apple is their marketing and their "look and feel". China can't steal that without being noticed.
Apple isn't a technology company, they are a jewelry company. I honestly see Apple products as technology designed for women.
It's like Louis Vuitton and Prada, they don't make better products they make products the same as everybody else, it's their marketing. They aren't higher quality, they are just expensive because of the brand. When I have to work on an Apple computer it takes me about 10 minutes before I run into something I can trivially do on Linux or Android, which is just about impossible to do on their systems. Move an mp3 or mp4 file to your iPhone and try to play it. Basic everyday things for me become complex and stupidly difficult. I use my Android as a general storage device, for data that isn't personal and I don't care about being protected - if I have that, it's password protected.
From the point of view of an engineer, the Apple products are a nightmare of design. They take this immensely powerful machine, and dumb it down so it's like working on a computer from the late 1990s when networking wasn't taken for granted. I hate them.

"Apple products aren't expensive; they just cost more than some people can afford."
The MacBook Air M1 is $650 new today; that's a capable laptop and not too expensive.

Can get a new Mac Mini for around $600 and buy a used LCD, keyboard and mouse at Goodwill for $100
This is affordable for even working class especially if they buy a refurbished Mac Mini
