I understand the basic issues involved here. Both countries are doing very odd things when it comes to information and privacy. However, I feel like making this a "country issue" is really not exactly the right horse to ride on. Rather, I think it should be stated due to the security policies of these governments, we are banning them as information safeholds at this time or something of the sort. Then, the issue is LESS the country, and more the governmental informational policies.

But the problem isn’t storing information in these countries in this case. It’s how these are known to coerce nationals with ties to the homeland into spying for them.
