China has shut down Apple's online book and movie services as it imposes strict rules governing what can be published on the net.

Apple said it hoped access to the services would be restored soon.

TPP has a long list of rules about what countries can't do arbitrarily to ban other countries who signed the treaty. Every government faces internal pressure to ban or raise tariffs on certain imports, so that's a good thing.
