Are our networks secure if the Hong Kong Government could freely enter data centres?
 
Background: The Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) does not accept conditions where the tenant has the right to refuse entry by the landlord. According to the lease, the landlord has the right to review, record and even remove a tenant's facilities for security reasons. To draw a comparison, this is like hotel staff being able to enter your rented hotel room anytime with no regard for the guest's privacy. According to the verdict, some landlords entered a tenant's space nearly 200 times in the span of a few months.
 
This system of allowing landlords to freely enter is ridiculous and puts tenants' digital security and commercial privacy at risk. In Singapore, the government and other agencies could only enter data centres if they apply for a search warrant under suspicion of illegal activity.

Experts Worried About China’s Intelligence Network as The UN Global Data Centre in Zhejiang

The US government severely discourage Chinese mobile applications and cloud service providers in recent years, stopping the Chinese government from getting sensitive data. However, the United Nations Secretariat cooperated with China recently, established a global data centre in Deqing County, Zhejiang Province, and the “geospatial centre” that uses satellite surveillance technology to process data from various UN member states. The United Nations officials who signed the Data Centre protocol are also from China. Experts worried that the data centre would become China’s global intelligence network.

A former reporter of The Wall Street Journal and a researcher at the Hudson Institute, Claudia Rosett disclosed the data centre location in Deqing County, Zhejiang Province last week. She criticized the plan was that China uses the name of the United Nations, to strengthen the scope of surveillance.
