Of course!
Privacy of Correspondence is article 40 of the
Chinese Constitution.
There's other great things in the Chinese Constitution too, like:
- Democracy
- Freedom of Speech
- Freedom of Assembly
- Freedom of the Press
- Freedom of Demonstration
- Freedom of Religion
- Freedom from Unlawful Search
- Freedom of Association
They even have the constitutional right to
protection of the environment and
protection from pollution! It's really a pretty great Constitution.
China must be a really awesome, clean, and free place to live. In fact I hear that 1989 some students got together in a square to practice their freedom of assembly and freedom of demonstration in order to celebrate their constitutional right to democracy. I'm sure the government appreciated the students' patriotic reverence for their nation's constitution!
Anyway, sarcasm aside, this is just a little reminder to my fellow Americans that a piece of paper called the Constitution doesn't protect us. Quite the opposite--we must protect the Constitution by continuously challenging the ever-increasing powers and reach of the government. And I thank Apple for their part in doing exactly that.
