    No one outside of China has their data stored there, though. Every tech company that complies with China hosts the data in China and usually makes the Chinese version of their software work differently as a result. The Chinese government isn’t able to just see everyone else’s data.

      1. There’s no way to tell if Apple transfers your data there
      2. Apple does not clarify how they decide when to transfer your data there
      3. You are putting a lot of faith into a system that shows no transparency

        This is true, but considering all the US government problems with China, if Apple does send your data to Chinese servers regardless of where you are, I’d guess governments in the US and Europe would make iPhones forbidden for all their sensitive personnel.
