China has launched an initiative to address global data security issues, a countermove to the U.S. "Clean network" program that is aimed at discouraging other countries from using Chinese technology.
The move comes amid a deterioration in U.S.-China relations encompassing trade tensions and competition in telecommunications and artificial intelligence technologies, with the U.S. accusing Chinese technology companies of threatening American national security.
The Chinese initiative opposes impairing critical infrastructure and theft of important data.
"The Chinese government has acted in strict compliance with data security principles. We have not and will not ask Chinese companies to transfer data overseas to the government in breach of other countries' laws," said Wang.
"Politicization of security issues, double standards and slandering others violate the basic norms governing international relations, and seriously disrupts and hampers global digital cooperation and development," he said.
