Not sure how much the press has hold of this yet but this info was released Thursday/Friday.

What this means no-one is sure about just yet, however worst case scenario IMO and some analysts is that Apple will provide requested source code and the implications for this is daunting.
China is the worlds most aggressive internet espionage/attacker (talking about government linked/associated rather than general hacking groups) and in the past I remember some analysts likened their activities to a war.

So the ramifications could be huge, depending upon access they are given to Apples code/IP, which will find its way into other Chinese companies :)
Thinking of what happened to Cisco and how Huawei/Chinese used their code/IP in the past where the Chinese government did everything to not help Cisco lol.

Cheers
