Apple admitted to doing what it did not want to do in China, store iCloud data in a Chinese-controlled area where the government can access it. China left them no choice. The BBC says they will partner with Guizhou-Cloud Big Data Industry Development [GCBD] under the real force in China, China Telecom, a state-owned enterprise.
So, if you travel to China, work there, or live there doing business, there are no pretenses of privacy. China knows what Apple knows, and Apple knows a lot. We still don't know what cloud services have storage facilities in China where that same kind of access will be available to the Chinese government. Cloud companies don't talk about it. I would love to publish the list of companies having cloud storage in China, if someone else doesn't beat me to it.
