WASHINGTON - US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on Wednesday that Chinese cloud computing companies like Huawei Cloud and Alibaba Cloud could pose a threat to US security and vowed to review a request to add them to an export control list.
A group of nine Republican senators on Tuesday urged the Biden administration to impose sanctions on Huawei Technologies’ cloud unit, Alibaba Cloud and other Chinese cloud service providers. They want Ms Raimondo to add the companies to the Entity List, which imposes US export controls on foreign companies.“I’ve put over 200 Chinese companies on the entity list in my tenure, and we are actively, constantly investigating additional threats and if and as we think companies need to go onto the list, I will not hesitate,” she said at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing.
Ms Raimondo said about a quarter of the Chinese companies on the export control list were added under her tenure “and we have to continue,” she added, saying the department needs additional resources to review export control issues.
“We urge you to use all available tools to engage in decisive action against these firms, through sanctions, export restrictions, and investment bans, and to further investigate PRC cloud computing service companies,” said the Tuesday letter by Republican senators. REUTERS
