He's basically just talking about the effects of Capitalism. Apple helped spread capitalism to China. The Chinese government is stil battliing to prevent the expanded freedom and openess that capitalism brings with it, but I don't see all of this as a net negative necessarily. China is not our enemy, no matter what Trump says.
