Apple told Reuters that is not what's happening:

>Apple says the joint venture does not mean that China has any kind of “backdoor” into user data and that Apple alone – not its Chinese partner – will control the encryption keys.

So Apple is saying one thing to the media and another thing in their legally binding customer agreement.

Someone should ask Apple which one it is, because these statements seem completely irreconcilable to me.
