Apple is storing the data of iThing users in China [ on servers in China ]( http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/08/15/us-apple-data-china-idUSKBN0GF0N720140815 ) . Since Apple can [ extract lots of personal data from an iThing remotely ]( http://gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary/malware-apple.html ) , I think Apple will have great difficulty refusing when China demands that it do so.
