Apple has just announced that it will transfer the right to operate iCloud service on the Chinese market to a local company to comply with its laws.
They have informed users about this change, and allow those who disagree to delete the iCloud account. 'After 28/2/2018, you will need to approve the iCloud service terms provided by Guizhou-Cloud Big Data Industry Co Ltd (GCBD) to use iCloud in China,' Apple said.
The Chinese government runs local companies
The company mentioned above is under the administration of Guizhou county government. Apple takes this action to comply with the rule that all Chinese users' data must be stored in their country. Apple has spent nearly $ 1 billion to build a new data center located in Guizhou, which stores all the information on the iCloud account of Chinese users.
All activities are under the management of the Chinese government
GCBD will start managing and operating this archive from February 28, 2018. Apple still has access to data. All iCloud accounts in China or part of setting up China use area are in this category. Even so, some Chinese users living abroad still receive notice that their data will be transferred to GCBD.
Apple surrendered to the Chinese government's request
The Chinese government has always been very strong in forcing companies to bring data from Chinese people to them. Tencent is famous for giving the government the freedom to access WeChat user data.
Apple eventually surrendered to the pressure from them. In July 2017, Apple removed 10 VPN applications from the App Store in China, arguing that they must comply with the Chinese government's prohibition against VPN - the VPN application must be registered with the government to be allowed to use in China. China banned VPN services to build the Great Wall
