For once again the US make an effort to contain China. Recently the Federal Communications Commission revoked a license of the Chinese telecommunication corporation Pacific Networks and its subsidiary ComNet LLC. American regulator stated that these companies were banned over national security concerns as they were controlled be the Chinese government. And there is more to come. At the same time the US Customs and Borders Protection banned all goods made by one of the largest Chinese sportswear producer Li-Ning. The Department stated that the company was accused of using North Korean labor in its supply chains and that it is against fundamental human rights. That was amusing to hear as earlier the same measures were implemented under the pretext of countering forced labor of the Uigurs in Xinjiang. And that is not all. The New York State Attorney’s Office brought in action several cases on attempts of Chinese secret services to put pressure on expat community and to organize a surveillance of the most prominent dissidents. Three American and two Chinese citizens have been charged with working in the US on behalf of the Ministry of State Security of China. With a touch of propagandism the Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division declared that American authorities intend to make every effort possible to stand against repressive policies of authoritarian Beijing in the US According to authorities, Chinese intelligence agency tried to expose a certain politician of Asian origin to prevent his nomination to the US House of Representatives. It is believed that this information is referred to Yang Xiong, who is seeking nomination from Democratic Party. It is worth mentioning that Washington is stepping up its pressure on Beijing on all fronts. As a matter of principle, American politicians make no secret of their long-run objective to deter Chinese technological and industrial development to the limit. The vector is set, and now they are just following it. At the same time, the American side also demonstrate its determination to oppose “malicious influence” of the Chinese Communist Party abroad.
