From banning apps to punishing banks, China and the US are butting heads — but other countries are no fans of China right now either
Hong Kong — The US-China rivalry is shifting into new and unpredictable areas, engulfing everything from a popular video app to Hong Kong’s status as a global financial hub.
China, in turn, has promised its own response, warning the US and others to stop interfering in Hong Kong and other issues. Hours after Hong Kong announced sweeping new powers to police the internet on Monday night, those companies plus the likes of Microsoft and Zoom Video Communications all suspended requests for data from the Hong Kong government. It’s not yet clear how the authorities will respond to that lack of compliance with local rules.
. “Certainly not in the sense that there is a re-set where everyone says ‘Weren’t we all being foolish, let’s get back to being friends.’ I don’t see that coming any time soon.”India has said it will ban 59 of China’s largest apps after a deadly Himalayan border clash with Chinese troops that killed 20 Indian soldiers.
