Apple Inc. will establish its first data center in China to\u00a0speed up services such as iCloud for local users and abide by laws\u00a0that require global companies to store information within the country.<\/p>\n

The new facility, which will be entirely driven by renewable energy, will be built and run in partnership with Guizhou on the Cloud Big Data, Apple said in a messaged statement.<\/p>\n

Apple aims to migrate Chinese users\u2019 information, now stored elsewhere, to the new facility in coming months, it said in a messaged statement.<\/p>\n

The data center was partly driven by new measures that\u00a0bolster control over the collection and movement of Chinese users\u2019 data, and can also grant the government unprecedented access to foreign companies\u2019 technology.<\/p>\n

Forcing companies to store information within the country has already led some to tap cloud computing providers with more local server capacity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe addition of this data center will allow us to improve the speed and reliability of our products and services while also complying with newly passed regulations,\u201d the company said in its statement. \u201cApple has strong data privacy and security protections in place and no backdoors will be created into any of our systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s partner was co-founded by the government of Guizhou, which has begun promoting the mountainous central province as the country\u2019s data center capital.<\/p>\n
