Chinese internet regulator gets private look at Apple Watch

Want a private, behind-closed-doors glimpse at Apple's new smartwatch, complete with a guided tour by Tim Cook himself? It's easy! You just have to be China's Cyberspace Administration minister, and how hard could that really be? Ok, so it's probably pretty difficult, but that's the treatment Lu Wei, China's Internet Minister, received during his recent visit to California.

Lu got to go hands-on with the Apple Watch during his private meeting with Apple's CEO, where the two talked about Apple's push into China, user privacy, and national security, according to China's state-run news agency. The Apple Watch is expected to arrive early next year.

During his time in Silicon Valley, Lu also visited with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, which is particularly interesting given the fact that Facebook itself isn't allowed on Chinese internet, and likely won't be any time soon.
