Apple keeps data in China. [1] They specifically made the move because of China's National Intelligence Law. [2]

>To comply with the law, for instance, Apple announced that it would transfer the operation of iCloud in Mainland China to a government-sponsored data company named Guizhou-Cloud Big Data.

Yes, but they only store data in China for Chinese customers (as per the registered region of the Apple ID). [1]

Right, which is still Apple complying with the Chinese National Intelligence Law and giving up private customer data to the Chinese government.
