Quote:

"China’s new rules require technology companies doing business with banks to demonstrate that their products are “secure and controllable” by, among other things, making their source code available to the Chinese government, providing the Chinese government with back doors in software and hardware and requiring localization of foreign intellectual property to China. Not only are these regulations inconsistent with international cybersecurity best practices, they are anticompetitive trade barriers.

"The United States’ commitment to Internet freedom reflects our deep-seated belief that individuals have the same universal human rights online and offline. Those fundamental freedoms, particularly the freedom of expression, have allowed the Internet to evolve into an innovative platform for communication and commerce unlike anything in human history. But some, including China, view the Internet’s openness as a threatening and destabilizing force.

"United States remains deeply concerned about China’s continuing and indisputable government-sponsored cyber theft from companies and commercial sectors around the world for Chinese companies’ advantage. The United States does not engage in these types of activities.
