China turns its back on Apple over security concerns
BEIJING - Ten Apple products – including the iPad, iPad Mini, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro – are nowhere to be found on the latest Chinese Government procurement list distributed in July, according to Government officials with access to the list. While the products allegedly were on a June version of the list of items that can be purchased with public funds, rising concerns over claims of hacking and cyber spying have led to the Government turning away from U.S. technology companies.
