China Launches Own Global Data Security Initiative, Targets U.S.’ ‘Clean Network’

It comes as last month, the U.S. launched its own network initiative that attempts to ringfence the country’s internet from Chinese influence.

The Chinese government announced 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.
