Apple Incorporated is in for another setback in China, as the leading army newspaper cautioned in a report that intelligence and military security could be affected by using communication-enabled wearable or smartwatch.

CNBC said that the army officials also distributed warning signs and teaching materials in order to ensure that all military personnel are aware of this new rule. The military officials are wary about this issue because they believe that the moment the soldiers wear a device that can take video, images and high definition audio, it is likely for them to reveal military secrets and to be tracked.
