Washington’s so-called “Clean Network” program to split global internet: media – Xinhua | English.news.cn – Xinhua

08/11/2020 by admin

LONDON, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) — Washington’s so-called “Clean Network” program will “bolster a worrying movement” toward the split of the global internet, said a recent BBC article.

“The U.S. government has for a long time criticized other countries for controlling access to the internet … and now we see the Americans doing the same thing,” the article quoted Alan Woodward, a computer security expert at the University of Surrey in Britain, as saying.

“It’s shocking,” said Woodward, adding, “this is the Balkanization of the internet happening in front of our eyes.”

Last week, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the launch of five new lines of effort under the program to “protect America’s critical telecommunications and technology infrastructure.”

According to the five lines, Washington will seek to remove “untrusted” Chinese apps such as TikTok and WeChat from U.S. mobile app stores, limit the ability of Chinese cloud service providers like Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent to access cloud-based systems in the country, and ensure undersea cables “are not subverted for intelligence gathering” by China.

“It’s hard not to view this through the prism of the U.S. elections in November,” said the article titled “Is the U.S. about to split the internet?”

To the White House, removing “untrusted” Chinese apps actually means removing all Chinese apps, it said.

Such a vision of the U.S. internet “in the main free of China” will only make it “a far more divided place,” it added. Enditem
