China is resisting FC Corporate Architecture Ground Rule 3.
No organization on the planet can stand in the way of the Information Cost-Velocity impact of the Cloud’s marginal cost computing on its structure and customer interfaces. The last great ICVC discontinuity was the 1440 printing press and it shredded every organization in Europe. Expect much greater disruption. China will fight this to the death.
For China, Apple is enemy #1. Apple’s mission is to manage customer experience of the cloud. This gives it cloud control. For China that is the role of the Party, not a company and certainly not an American one.
Amazingly Apple is giving in, surrendering its future by parking its data on Party-owned servers, giving the Party access to customer encryption codes and removing apps that allow customers to bypass Party censors.
Cook must be nuts.
