"BEIJING—International Business Machines Corp. agreed to cooperate with Chinese network services provider Range Technology Development Co. on the construction of a cloud computing data center in China, which IBM said will be Asia's largest in terms of floor space."

If you thought Facebook's privacy was a sieve, how about the "open book" that would be a data center in China. Think that serves china customers only?  I'm sure that center will serve customers worldwide. Do you know where exactly in the cloud your data is?  all your gmail is probably already belong to china.
