4. Chinese populous resigns themselves to the eluded-to fact that Apple's devices will not offer privacy from the state even though it's only iCloud that we presume to be affected; consumer buys domestic device that is easier to spy on

I don't know, I suppose when you insert a state actor, it's the conspiracy equivalent of Godwin's Law.
what's the motivation for the chinese government here? if anything it makes china look bad because the sequence of events are:
1. force foreign company to relocate data there
2. apple moves user data there to comply
3. surprise! china facility gets hacked
