I know it's a bit off topic but I would seriously love to have been a fly on the wall when Apple secured a deal with the likes of China Mobile. There must be conditions attached to access to the largest carrier in the world that just happens to be owned by the Chinese state - especially for a US company with their data collection abilities.
There certainly are. Iphones smuggled into mainland form Hong Kong are sold at a premium. Whatever the reasons for that are among the conditions that Apple must have conceded to to sell legally in the mainland.
