Скачать или смотреть Pompeo Urges Cutting Ties With Chinese Tech Companies, Apps

Secretary of State Michael Pompeo signaled Wednesday that U.S. efforts to bar Chinese technology from U.S. computers and smartphones in the name of national security will extend well beyond the push to force a sale or shutdown of TikTok, as he promoted a “clean network” initiative.

Pompeo said the U.S. wants to see untrusted Chinese apps removed from app stores like those operated by Apple Inc. and Google. He also called for companies to limit their apps from phones made by Huawei Technologies Corp. and for ending the use of Chinese cloud providers.

“We call on all freedom-loving nations and countries to join the clean network,” Pompeo told reporters at the State Department.

The guidance Pompeo announced stopped short of an ultimatum and wasn’t binding, but it represented an escalation in President Donald Trump’s efforts to limit the spread of Chinese technology, which U.S. officials say imperils Americans’ private information and national security. Trump has pledged to ban TikTok, the viral video app, from the U.S. by Sept. 15 unless its U.S. operations are sold to an American company. Microsoft Corp. is in talks to buy its U.S. operations.
