Last update date: 2020-08-06 05:24US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on August 5 that Washington will launch a series of measures against China, including the withdrawal of China Telecom’s operating permit in the United States and the request to remove Chinese apps from the App Store. .
Pompeo stated that Washington hopes to remove "untrusted" Chinese apps from the App Store in the United States, adding that Chinese apps such as TikTok and WeChat pose a serious threat to the personal data of Americans. At the same time, foreign companies in the United States are required to remove their products from Huawei’s App Store to prevent these companies from cooperating with companies that violate human rights.
He also mentioned that the State Council, in cooperation with the Ministry of Commerce and various government departments, restricts Chinese cloud service providers from collecting, storing, and processing data and sensitive data in the United States. Washington will also ensure that the CCP will not obtain data through submarine cables.
Pompeo also talked about the issue of arms control, saying that he has made progress in arms control with Russia and hopes that China will eventually choose to join. U.S. and Russian officials held a new round of arms control negotiations at the end of June to discuss updating the New START, which limits the number of strategic nuclear warheads between the two countries. Washington once invited China to send a representative to attend, but Beijing refused. The government's emphasis on refusal to participate does not mean that China refuses to participate in international nuclear disarmament efforts.
Pompeo accused China of spying in the U.S.
