Apple has agreed to open a new data center in China to comply with country’s new cybersecurity law. Apple will store encryption keys required to unlock iCloud accounts of its users outside the United States. Chinese law enforcement agencies won’t have to ask US courts for compelling Apple to give them access to users’ data. Apple has said the company alone would have access to the encryption keys and that Chinese authorities will have no backdoor into its data troves. The company has severely been implementing various aspects of Chinese laws in recent months for its regional operations in China.
