China tells US tech companies to sign PRISM-like cyber-loyalty pact

Minimalist · Sep 17, 2015

As China’s President Xi Jingping prepares to visit the White House next week, the head of China's Cyberspace Administration, Lu Wei, is holding a summit with US technology companies in Seattle. There, he's expected to further press US technology companies operating in China to sign off on a pledge that they will comply with Chinese information security policies—potentially giving Chinese authorities direct access to user data. The terms of the pledge, which the New York Times reports requires companies to “promise they would not harm China’s national security and would store Chinese user data within the country,” are similar in ways to the PRISM agreement between technology companies and the US government revealed by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.

Wow, straight out demanding backdoors are available to them. Are there really companies that have no problem handing the "keys" over to a foreign Gov't?

Anyway, if they need help designing the backdoors they could always solicit Microsoft for advice. LOL!
