Apple announced on July 12 that it will invest $1 billion to establish the first data center in China in Guizhou Province. Apple has started three R&D centers in Shanghai, Suzhou and Shenzhen, but there is only one data center in China. Apple said in a statement that the data center will cooperate with the local Internet service company - Guizhou Big Data Industry Development Co., Ltd. on Cloud.

The specific statement is as follows:

Apple today announced its business expansion in China - the establishment of our first data center in China in Guizhou Province. By cooperating with the local Internet service company, Guizhou Cloud Big Data Industry Development Co., Ltd., the data center will be 100% powered by renewable energy, just like all other data centers around the world. We are very proud of this. "

"Our Chinese customers are happy to use iCloud to securely store their photos, videos, documents and apps, and keep them synchronized on all devices. We are committed to constantly improving the user experience. The new data center will enable us to improve the speed and reliability of our products and services, and also comply with relevant new regulations. These regulations require that cloud services in China be operated by local enterprises, so we cooperate with Cloud Guizhou to provide iCloud. Our customers know that Apple has a strong data privacy and security protection mechanism and will not create backdoors in any of our systems. “

"After careful consideration, we decided to select Guizhou as our site. We were particularly impressed by the leadership of Guizhou Provincial Government and their concern for environmental sustainable development."

Apple's new data center in China is intended to improve the speed and reliability of products and services to solve the unstable service situation of iCloud in China. Previously, iCloud used the servers of China Telecom, but from the current experience, it cannot meet the needs of Apple users. As for why we cooperated with Cloud Guizhou, it is because of the relevant new regulations issued by China, which require that such service projects must be operated by local enterprises, so Apple finally chose to cooperate with Cloud Guizhou to improve the service status of iCloud in China.
