But there are legitimate concerns about the working conditions for the Chinese workers that produce Apples products.

It's not just Apple's problem, it affects all companies that have production in China, but Apple is the most visible and so they get the most attention.

It really should be the Chinese government's problem, they should create regulations but they don't seem very concerned about life quality for workers.
