BBC reports:

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

Regulations were unveiled in March that outlawed foreign ownership of online publishing services. The rules also required that all content shown to Chinese people must be stored on servers based on the Chinese mainland.

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

    I didn't mod it one way or the other but I can see a good case for it being modded troll:

    (1) There are zero facts, it is just a rant.
    (2) It engages in lowbrow, derogatory stereotyping.

    I think either of those in sufficient quantity can qualify as trolling, but combined it is a slamdunk.
