CHINA-US: A NEW YORK TIMES INVESTIGATION REVEALS THAT APPLE INC HAS COMPROMISED SECURITY TO ACCESS THE CHINA MARKET
|
A New York Times investigative report (May 17), which includes accounts from former employees, states that Apple Inc. made compromises with the Chinese government which make it “virtually impossible” to prevent the authorities from accessing the data stored on Chinese servers—which, under 2016 laws, includes all of Apple’s Chinese users. The NYT report is linked with Apple's preparations to store the personal data of its Chinese customers on computer servers run by a state-owned Chinese firm located in data storage underground caves in Guizhou province from next month. Apple has contracted to store data in another data storage site in the Xinjiang-Uyghur Autonomous Region.
