New investigation sheds light on the concessions Apple has had to make to do business in China.
Apple has apparently given in to the demands of Chinese authorities to keep the personal data of its Chinese customers within the country’s borders, according to reports. The iPhone maker is building two new data centers in China to house the data, as the company seems to have reportedly ceded to the country’s law that requires all personal information and data collected in China, to not leave its borders. The New York Times (NYT) has pieced together details of Apple dancing to the tune of Chinese regulators in order to do business in the country, based on internal Apple documents. It claims the computers inside the data center, which will also house the iCloud data of its Chinese customers, are run and managed by a state-owned Chinese firm.
