Chinese authorities have denied rumors that Apple's products have been excluded from the list of acceptable for the needs of state and municipal authorities for reasons of national security. In a statement released on Friday, said that the reason for the lack of certification of energy efficiency.
On the eve of publication of Bloomberg reported that the list of products for public procurement in China were excluded 10 products Apple - including the iPad, iPad Mini, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro versions, current as of June 2014. The reason for this was supposedly a doubt the authorities in the security of the data on these devices and suspected cyber espionage. In this case, iPhone smart phones in the list are not included.
In fact, it turned out that the Chinese government did not prohibit government procurement gadgets of Apple, but just did not include them in the list of priorities. The reason, as reported, is that the American company has not carried out an additional certification of the above energy devices that need to be included in the register of products procurement. In this case, nothing prevents the state institutions continue to buy apple technique.
Evil tongues, however, say that the certification of energy efficiency - just an excuse to introduce "sanctions" against the American company. They supposedly came in response to Beijing for the next round of tensions with the United States on the basis of a spy scandal. In May 2014 States charged with the five Chinese military cyber espionage. After that, Beijing has accused cyber espionage in the total for the top management of the PRC. Investigation of these cases has been dragging on for several months and seriously complicate communication between Beijing and Washington.
