Yeah I mean I read the iOS security white paper and whatever other stuff Apple was generous enough to make public... so unless I am misremembering something and/or something changed (e.g. China’s request?)... iCloud stuff is encrypted. 

My understanding is that Apple does not do things any differently in China than in the US, but for Chinese users they do run iCloud stuff on servers located in China, so given the design it's obviously accessible to that government. That and removing the Taiwanese flag emoji...

Yup sorry if I was unclear and contributed to further confusion but this was what I meant when I said in China vs. outside China. Was optimizing for character limit as I thought it was clear enough to you and whoever else involved in this discussion.
