<p>“For some time now the New York Times app has not been permitted to display content to most users in China and we have been informed that the app is in violation of local regulations.

When this situation changes, the App Store will once again offer the New York Times app for download in China.”</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3155022/iphone-ipad/apple-removes-the-new-york-times-app-in-china-following-government-request.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
