I understand that Apple has built data centers in China. I notice I have access to my icloud photos and notes in China. Therefore If I travel to China, will the icloud data centers sync giving China access to all of my information?

In good faith, why not go there? It's the second largest economy on the planet and homes 1 in 5 people on the planet.
I think everyone should visit at least once if they can. I really enjoyed my time in southern China. It's a strange place that has little enthusiasm for foreigners but a worthwhile experience nonetheless.

Well that depends on your personal limit of how many concentration camps a country can have before you decide not to visit it. My Personal limit is 1, yours might be 400, in which case i would visit quickly cause china is getting there https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/24/china-has-buil...

#7I think you are asking something like, "does Apple voluntarily share my information?" Read some of the articles in [0]. At this point, I think it is pretty safe to assume that most large countries and some large companies can access your iCloud data with limited effort.

I believe you missed the “in good faith” part of his comment, and responded with vitriol and the implication that you were parent commentor’s moral superior. Tiresome: do better so we can all have a nicer website to visit.

Are you American? Do you excuse the migrant holding camps, with its toddler separation? I can see your mind turning gears to come up with reasons why you think those are fine...
Where do we draw the line of what sort of "camp" is humane?
