Apple sets up China data center to meet new cyber-security rulesApple Inc on Wednesday said it is setting up its first data center in China, in partnership with a local internet services company, to comply with tougher cyber-security laws introduced last month. An Apple spokesman in Shanghai told Reuters the center is part of a planned $1 billion investment into the province. Apple is the first foreign firm to announce amendments to its data storage for China following the implementation of a new cyber-security law on June 1 that requires foreign firms to store data within the country. Earlier this week, Apple said it planned to open a new data center in Denmark. Other foreign firms that oversee cloud businesses, including Amazon.com Inc and Microsoft Corp, already have data centers in China.
