#China has been pushing to internationalize its 'managed' internet for years. Pompeo's Clean Network initiative gives it a boost. But it's still the same, a multilateral smokescreen to protect its own deeply anti-human rights domestic approach. https://t.co/P6n7LOANWy

Considering the PRC’s history of mass surveillance on other nations, theft of personal information and hegomonistic goals, the PRC’s visions to shape our global data-security rules should be a significant concern for the free world.https://t.co/ipskjL0iAf

Under its new “Global Initiative on Data Security,” China would call on tech companies not to install “backdoors in their products and services to illegally obtain users’ data, control or manipulate users’ systems and devices.” How interesting. https://t.co/i8zHF0uOGV

China is launching its own initiative to set global standards on data security, countering U.S. efforts to persuade like-minded countries to ringfence their networks from Chinese technology. @ByChunHan scoop: https://t.co/q9QijGxoEn pic.twitter.com/UqgCarVfws

Let's see who aligns with Chinese Data Security Standards: North Korea, Tonga, Venezuela, Iran, Zimbabwe, and who else? https://t.co/QmIS12cljo

Easy to see where China is coming from politically with this. And tech bifurcation writ large. Data security/standards setting have become geopolitical.

The #CCP is the worst electronic surveillance & hacking regime in history! Now that they've cyber looted the West they want to close the the backdoor? Choke on the irony.

Allowing China to set global data-security rules is like letting the fox guard the hen house.

Communist China exerts significant controls over how their citizens use the internet and steals data and intellectual property from countries around the globe. https://t.co/SziEpTI9wG
