China wants American tech companies to be “secure and controllable”

Earlier this year, Russia started requiring technology companies like Google and Twitter to store data on Russian users within Russia itself, not overseas, all in the name of “national security” and all that jazz. What that really means is that Russia wants to ensure that even foreign technology companies will have to open themselves up to government spying, and now China appears to following suit. According to reports, China has been trying to get American tech companies to pledge not to harm its national security and make sure their products are “secure and controllable.”.
