  Just a week ago I told you that the government-controlled Chinese press ran a video report accusing the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), collaboration with US spy agencies. iDevices have been categorized as a national security threat in China, and idespite the company's efforts Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), to deny everything, the Chinese government forbids them now government agencies to buy Apple products fearing possible acts of espionage.

Ten Apple products — including the iPad, iPad Mini, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro — were omitted from a final government procurement list distributed in July, according to officials who read it and asked not to be identified because the information isn't public. The models were on a June version of the list drafted by the National Development and Reform Commission and Ministry of Finance, the officials said...

  iPadAPIs and MacBookthe company's Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), they were deleted from a Chinese government procurement list recently offered to public officials, and this despite the fact that the products were on that list only a month ago. Everything would be part of an attempt by the Chinese government to reduce the influence of foreign companies in China, despite the fact that Apple earns a tenth of its revenue in this country, so it contributes serious amounts to the country's budget.

  Apple is not the only company targeted by the Chinese government, which forbids the purchase of terminals running Windows 8 produced by Microsoft, and in the middle would be the claims of Edward Snowden who claimed that the big US IT companies helped the NSA to spy Chinese officials.
