Apple Inc stores data from its Chinese customers on servers owned by a Chinese state-owned company, potentially making it easy for Beijing to gain access to the information, the New York Times has reported.
The data deal, in response to a 2017 Chinese law, is one of several concessions to the government that the iPhone maker has made over the past five years to do business in China, the Times said on Monday, citing internal company documents and interviews with current and former employees, as well as cybersecurity experts.
