The only threat to national security are iPhone's church of iSheeple fanboys.

The user can turn off the Apple tracking feature but I sure the Chinese government still traces any phone with GPS ability anyway via the telecoms.

Oh the irony of the Chinese state broadcaster going under the acronym "CCTV"

I'm worry about Government departments and companies using IT hardware made in Communist China than Apple iPhone.
Japanese Government should only use Computer hardware which are made in Japan instead of made in Communist China and overseas.

Funny they should comment on national security when they run state-funded hacker groups to steal big corporations' data!

I am not used to other OSses, but isn't this feature - or a variation - common to Windows phone, BBs and Androids?

China may be a WTO member, but it sure is abusing its WTF quota.

It just means China is having more difficulties stifling freedom from the masses, once they had a tight grip on the information flow and could keep things from the people, now it's becoming increasingly hard as the technology to circumvent blocks, firewalls and security files are much easier to bypass and that infuriates the Chinese government....good! Hope it gets to the point where the Chinese government will be so bogged down with trying to repress the masses that the interior structure will implode. One can only dream and hope.

Someone needs to show them how to disable the tracking feature or is it another excuse, now that they have siphoned enough of Apple's technology?

" Ma gave the example of a journalist being tracked by the software as a demonstration of her fears over privacy"
As if the Chinese government doesn't do this?
