Apple Inc on Wednesday said it is setting up its first data centre in China, in partnership with a local internet services company, to comply with tougher cyber-security laws introduced last month.
The U.S. technology company said it will build the centre in the southern province of Guizhou with data management firm Guizhou-Cloud Big Data Industry Co Ltd (GCBD).
An Apple spokesman in Shanghai told Reuters the centre is part of a planned $1 billion investment into the province.
