WASHINGTON:
US Vice President Mike Pence sharply criticised what he said was China’s theft of US technology on Thursday, and he urged Google to immediately end development of its “Dragonfly” app that would make it easier to track someone’s internet searches.
Google CEO will testify before US House on bias accusations
Pence said in a speech that business leaders are now thinking twice before entering the Chinese market “if it means turning over their intellectual property or abetting Beijing’s oppression.”
Google sued for unwanted tracking of phone locations
“More must follow suit,” he added. “For example, Google should immediately end development of the ‘Dragonfly’ app that will strengthen Communist Party censorship and compromise the privacy of Chinese customers.”
