Nuctech has been out of the US for many years due to national security, but this company has made deep inroads across Europe. The company is installing its devices in 26 of the 27 EU member states. Government and corporate records have been reviewed by The Associated Press.
The complex ownership structure of the Nuctech company and its growing scope across the globe has sounded the alarm for many countries. Security officials and policy makers in Western countries fear that China may take advantage of Nuctech devices to gain illegal access to personal data of governments, companies and individuals across countries.
America always keeps an eye on Chinese companies. Recently, the Biden administration had decided to review the cloud business of China’s big e-commerce company Alibaba. The purpose of the Biden administration is to know whether Alibaba is not a threat to America’s national security. The focus of the investigation is on how the company stores the data of US customers, including personal information. Is he reaching out to the Chinese government? After the investigation, US regulators may direct Alibaba to take measures to reduce the risks posed by its cloud business.
China itself also keeps an eye on the companies of its countries. Recently, China’s cyber regulatory body has issued a draft of rules governing mobile apps. In this, the need for security review of those apps has been mentioned, whose actions may affect public opinion. The draft rules state that app providers will require a security assessment before launching “new technology, apps and functions” that will affect the public.
