Wang Yi Refutes “Clean Network” from the U.S.: the U.S. is Covered with Stains which is Not Qualified to Create a "Clean Nation Alliance"
U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo announced a series of Clean Network, declaring to clean up the Internet in five areas. Chinese software Apps like TikTok and WeChat should be removed from the US app store because of their unreliability. He also declared to prohibit or restrict Chinese cloud services, Chinese telecommunications companies and Internet cable companies from operating in the United States. State Councilor and Foreign Minister of China, Wang Yi, said, “The bad behavior of the United States in eavesdropping and monitoring other countries around the world is known to all.” He believes that the United States is not qualified to create a “clean country alliance”. He reiterated the technology and products of Chinese companies have never caused harm to any country.
Pompeo said Clean Network in five areas needs to be carried out at the same instance, including the restriction on Chinese cloud service providers from collecting, storing and processing personal data of Americans, along with requesting the Federal Communications Commission to terminate the license for China Telecom and other three companies which provide international telecom services in the United States. Pompeo reiterated any application with its parent company in China would pose a threat to the personal data of Americans. He also announced that he would target on "untrusted" Chinese mobile phone manufacturers and would prohibit Huawei and other mobile phones from pre-installing US mobile apps.

Trump hints at banning more Chinese firms, Alibaba included
US President Donald Trump considers more Chinese companies sanctions and Alibaba could be the next target.
Asked at a press conference whether other Chinese companies such as Alibaba would be banned after targeting TikTok, President Trump replied, “Well, we're looking at other things, yes.”
According to a recent CNN analysis, Trump called Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, a friend of his after Ma said he would donate supplies to the US for fighting the pandemic. Still, Alibaba might become the next target. In a statement made earlier this month, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the expansion of the Clean Network programme. He called on US allies around the world to prevent intellectual property, including COVID-19 vaccine research, from being stored and accessed on Chinese cloud-based service providers as such as Alibaba, Baidu, China Mobile, China Telecom and Tencent.

Reuters: ByteDance's Censorship on Indonesian News App Requested Removal of Unfavourable Anti-China Content
Reuters quoted six insiders saying, ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, censored content that was critical of the Chinese government on a popular Indonesian news app "Baca Berita" (BaBe) from 2018 to mid-2020. Keywords including Tienanmen and President Mao were on the banned list.
Quoting various sources, the team at ByteDance's Beijing Headquarter instructed local Indonesian moderators to remove all negative articles related to the CCP on BaBe. Previously Indonesia had banned TikTok briefly for displaying "pornography, inappropriate content and profanity". As ByteDance wanted to lift the ban, they compromised with the government to employ a local TikTok team and strengthened the company's influence in Indonesia. ByteDance acquired Baca Berita shortly after.
Insiders revealed, after the acquisition, ByteDance's Beijing Headquarter created new moderation guidelines for BaBe. Contents perceived as critical of China were prohibited from publishing or they would be removed from the platform. A person directly involved said all articles containing sensitive words, such as Tienanmen and President Mao, had to be taken down. Another direct source said ByteDance also censored an article relating to the South China Sea tension from Antara, an Indonesia official news agency.

Brazil to Look into Banning Companies that Use 5G Equipment from Huawei
In support of the US’s Clean Network Program, Brazil was looking into legal procedures to restrict national telecommunication companies from using 5G network equipment developed by Huawei. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s national security advisor was looking into whether or not the government should ban Huawei with a presidential decree. However, as many major telecommunication companies have partnered with Huawei for years, the move was expected to be met with strong opposition.
A report stated that the Secretary of Institutional Security Augusto Heleno was in discussions with the Ministry of Communications to set up security provisions that telecommunication companies and equipment suppliers must comply to. They were also studying into the feasibility of a presidential decree. The US has criticised Huawei for its ties with China’s People’s Liberation Army and has expressed concerns over the leaking of confidential information to the Chinese government, which presents threats to national security.
As China has been Brazil’s most important trade partner, the ban on Huawei was expected to be met with strong oppositions from the industry and even from within the government, including the Brazilian Vice President Hamilton Mourao. The Brazilian Minister for Communications Fabio Faria refused to comment on the report, while Heleno has said that he was not involved in affairs pertaining to 5G.
