China has launched its own global data security initiative, in a move that aims to counter the Trump administration’s “Clean Network” initiative
its own global data security initiative on Tuesday outlining issues that include handling of personal data and surveillance, in a move that aims to counter the Trump administration’s “Clean Network” initiative which intends to exclude Chinese network equipment, software and services from internet infrastructure used by the U.S. and other nations.
Wang also urged governments to respect countries’ sovereignty over their own internet, in line with Beijing’s view on exercising full control over the internet within its borders. Last month the U.S. government directly targeted the Chinese government and its tech companies through its “” initiative, which calls for “safeguarding the nation’s assets including citizens’ privacy and companies’ most sensitive information from aggressive intrusions by malign actors, such as the Chinese Communist Party.”
In recent months, the Trump administration has cracked down on Chinese tech platforms like TikTok and WeChat, accusing them of sharing private user data of U.S. citizens with the Chinese government and its military. Wang denied this accusation, stating “We have not and will not ask Chinese companies to transfer data overseas to the government in breach of other countries’ laws.”In a veiled attack on Washington’s actions against Chinese tech firms, Wang said:"A certain country keeps making groundless accusations against others in the name of a 'clean' network and uses security as a pretext to prey on enterprises of other countries that have a competitive edge.
