Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday announced a newThis comes the same week as President Trump ordered that hugely successful social media app TikTok — which is owned by Chinese tech company ByteDance — sell off its US business to an American company"The Clean Network program is the Trump Administration's comprehensive approach to guarding our citizens' privacy and our companies' most sensitive information from aggressive intrusions by malign actors, such as the Chinese...
Pompeo outlined five ways in which the initiative aims to keep China away from America's internet, although he was not entirely clear about how they might be technically enforced.Pompeo said this part of the initiative is: "to ensure untrusted People's Republic of China carriers are not connected with US telecommunications networks. Such companies pose a danger to US national security and should not provide international telecommunications services to and from the United States.
This explanation for this runs: "PRC apps threaten our privacy, proliferate viruses, and spread propaganda and disinformation. American's [sic] most sensitive personal and business information must be protected on their mobile phones from exploitation and theft for the CCP's benefit."3.

US did similar to Japan and French…… should US be proud of it?
While Pompeo is trying to do all this do you think he could add Trump and his minions to being banned from the internet and social media as well? If given a choice on who to ban between Trump and China, I pick Trump, He causes a lot more damage than China.
How do you feel about China walling off the world from their internet? Is that wild too?
well, it is a series of tubes, after all
Where have we heard about the wall talk before
SAI What’s with the f****ng walls
ZhugeEX That's a James Bond level of villiany right here.
The trading partner countries must have a very fast Internet connection; to monitor goods transit.
GOOD. CHIMA ENSLAVES UIGHURS
Each continent should have its own Internet system. & only selective connection with other continents.
Very good idea please do the same with the GCC and the Arab peninsula. We'd be able to live in peace thereafter. thehill
