Apple famously controls the whole widget. There's not going to be opportunity for China to create a chip that somehow meets spec except that it doesn't, and then Apple further can't detect it from IOS and the rest of the software they alone run.
And has been said, it's not even China, but Taiwan.
I don't really understand the concern.
Foxconn may be Taiwanese, but 12 of their factories are in mainland China. They have more exposure in China than TSMC which has chip fabs in Shanghai and Nanjing.
