If the Chinese stop buying Apple devices then Apple as a company is finished. It's all down to the bottom line for Apple here.

Unless you can show otherwise, Apple does abide by the laws in every country it operates.

If the court order forces Apple to create a backdoor, everybody will want it and not everybody will use it responsibly.

For some reason you continue to attribute this to a profit issue. In doing so, you make yet another mistake by thinking that people will stop buying Apple products because of this. People will still buy the iPhone so don't kid yourself. Do you know why? Because its a great phone. Here's a news flash for you since you use a flip phone: People don't buy an iPhone because its the most secure phone because it's not nor has it ever been marketed as such.

The reality is that there will be less trust in their governments and people will think twice before storing personal information on their phones because their reasonable right to privacy continues to dwindle.
