From Dec 1, 2019 Chinese govt will have full access to every server in China

>In cases where the Ministry of Public Security determines there is an Internet security issue, it has the right to perform a remote access inspection. the scope of which is set out in Article 10. Prior notice of remote access is required.

>...it is not clear whether notice goes only to the cloud provided or to both the cloud provider and the customer of the cloud provider

>...but my guess is that the cloud customer will never know unless its cloud provider tells them.

So much for setting a datacenter in China (Apple and others) and expect that your customer/business/proprietary data is not being shared with other Chinese State Owned Entities (SOEs) (i.e. your competitors)

How will any foreign owned entity realistically do business?
