Apple has 300,000 employees in China, according to a Wall Street Journal article I saw a while back. No idea how many foreign employees Microsoft has, but when Apple has that many employees somewhere else, I don’t consider Apple to be an American company, just a renter with an American mailing address.

Fake news, or you made it up. Apple has only sales staff in China, in their stores. With some distribution center employees that amounts to about 1500 employees or so in China, all involved in sales support only. None manufacturing, which is contracted out as it is with dozens of other American companies, many of which have far more employees in China directly involved in manufacturing. Check your sources and post a correct source.
