Cadillac Commie Cook wants the U.S. to be like China, where he just gave them the keys to Apple's China icloud, effectively sodomizing 130 million Chinese Apple customers, letting their govt read their phones.

All hail our future Chinese masters, say their millionaire/ billionaire underling slave-masters:


Apple CEO Tim Cook and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos share a laugh. Tencent CEO Pony Ma [Huateng] stands in between.

According to the official Tencent website, Ma is a deputy to the 5th Shenzhen Municipal People’s Congress and serves in the 12th National People’s Congress.

Because of Tencent’s dominance of the social network and instant messaging markets in China, Ma Huateng’ relationship with the Chinese Communist Party has repeatedly come under scrutiny... Speaking of censorship at a tech conference in Singapore, Ma was quoted as saying "Lots of people think they can speak out and that they can be irresponsible. I think that's wrong […] We are a great supporter of the government in terms of the information security. We try to have a better management and control of the Internet”."

Sigh. No, Apple DID NOT GIVE THE KEYS OF THE CHINESE ICLOUD to the Chinese government.

Apple, like every other such cloud business operating in China is required to have the encryption keys to their Chinese operations stored within the geographic borders of the nation of China. The digital encryption keys to the Apple iCloud are stored at Apple's China headquarters in Beijing, not at any government office.

How many times do I have to squash this Fake News myth???

Is China more restrictive? Of course they are. If you do business there, you follow their laws. . . as does Microsoft when it hands over the entire source code for Windows with every update since Windows 98. Apple does not.
