So? - this is a discussion about RIM and which countries they grant access to their data to.
RIM has granted access to it's (your) data to China - now do you think they did that because it is progressive society that is committed to keeping your data secure? - or was it simply a commercial decision in exactly the same way as Google's.
Unfortunately in discussions like this people bring out all their old prejudices against a place they dont like to be (but for some reason never leave) and the real story gets lost
