China officially announces a global initiative to protect data security

China today announced an initiative to set global standards for protecting data security, hoping to promote diversity between "isolated countries" and other countries and push companies out.

State Councilor Wang Yi announced a month after the United States announced that it would remove "untrusted" Chinese applications as part of a program called "Clean Network".

The initiative also urges participants not to closely monitor other countries or illegally obtain information from foreign citizens through information technology. China has not detailed the nature of the initiative, nor has it indicated that other countries have joined the initiative.
