Agree and it's not just Chinese users. Just talking about that one country (there are others, let's set that aside) it's Chinese users, and anyone who happens to be in China, and it would seem to be also anyone who, knowingly or unknowingly, anywhere around the world… in the US, the UK, the EU, etc… anywhere, has so much as a one-time interaction with such a user. I feel like that paragraph would lose most people because it's a long chain of connections. It's hard to do a TL;DR but here, I'll try: Basically "If you message someone in China, Apple sees to it that your identity and content is handed to the Chinese government." I don't know this for a fact. But as far as I can tell (and they aren't saying anything) this is exactly what is going on.
