Apple confirmed that the Chinese government has sought access to its source code, the confidential programming underlying the iPhone, but that it rebuffed the demands.

“We have been asked by the Chinese government,” Apple general counsel Bruce Sewell said on Tuesday at a subcommittee hearing of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. “We refused.”

Apple will continue to get these request from both foreign and domestic governments which is why they are working hard at locking down security in iOS so these requests become moot.
