Apple to move Chinese iCloud keys to China servers, opens door to government data requests
And so did every other operator of cloud services with Chinese customers, BTclinger. Chinese LAW required it, and Apple kept possession of those keys at their Apple offices. They respond to legal search warrants, as they do in every other country in the world. How hard is that to understand? Chinese have their own laws which are not the same as the laws that apply in the USA. Get that simple fact through your hard head!
