Apple's movie and book store closes in China

Apparently the Asian giant is starting to give problems to the boys of Cupertino. Six months ago, the iBooks and iTunes Movies book store arrived in China. From the date both services they have done nothing but give problems to all users. Since last Monday, both iTunes Movies and the iBooks Store have been closed. The first users who said they could not access both services, believed that this failure was timely, but as the week has passed, the access problems have not been resolved until we finally know the reason why they have stopped working.

Apparently the blame comes from the Chinese government and the strict censorship it applies throughout the country. As we have read the Chinese government was conducting an investigation related to both stores forcing Apple to temporarily shut down both services. This was the official explanation during the first days of suspension from service. But according to the newspaper The New York Times, both stores have been closed indefinitely while the investigation is being carried out by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, which is in charge of selecting all the content of this type which citizens can access.

Apparently apple It is not the first company that has been affected by this harsh regulation, and the president of the Chinese government has been forced to meet with the CEOs of Alibaba and Huawei, among others, to discuss the very restrictive policies that the government is applying in the country. Now is when you understand why Netflix is ​​currently available in all countries in the world, except four (one of them is China). Which is surprising that Apple Music was not seen mixed in this investigation.
