Chinese web users have criticised Apple after the company pulled an iPhone app which enabled users to bypass firewalls and access restricted internet sites.

Another user wrote: "Apple is determined to have a share of the huge cake which is the Chinese internet market. Without strict self-censorship, it cannot enter the Chinese market."

Another app, which enables users to access books banned in China, was also withdrawn.

You're not free to run whatever you want on your phone, but only what Apple allows you to; and if you want to play with the chinese government, you have to like censorship.
