Apple's cooperation with Chinese officials

China is a government controlled country, and has complete say of what their citizens can read, say, do. If Apple or any other company wants to do business in China they have to play by their rules, or take theIr toys and go home. Google and Facebook have to play by China’s rules also.

I support Apple in not creating a “back door” into their products which can be exploited by not so nice people. There has been several instances where police / FBI have gained access to locked down iPhones using third party software and services. Millions of people keep their very private information on iPhones, iPads, iCloud storage. I want it near impossible for anyone other than me to get that data.

Apple already has a "back door", they just refuse to give it to law enforcement. Since the government literally can print money, they actually have no reason to steal yours. And I bet the government servers already are fully stocked with videos of cats playing the piano so they really don't need to steal the contents of your phone. The only practical use of the data contained in my phone or on my computer would be to require some terrorist prisoner at Guantanamo Bay to transcribe it into Arabic as a form of torture. I, like most people, lead a pretty boring life. At no time was I ever issued a license to kill and assigned a double naught spy number.
