And now it is Germany, which has expressed serious concern regarding Chinese tech firms. Germany’s domestic intelligence agency called BFV has cautioned consumers that personal data which they provide to Chinese payment companies or other tech firms could end up in the hands of Chinese government. This is undoubtedly a serious warning. The BfV agency has documented in its annual report that Chinese government offices have access to data stored in China by companies such as #Tencent, #Alibaba and others. And mind it that these companies have investments in India. The head of the BfV intelligence agency has confirmed that data of Germans isn’t safe with Chinese companies and accordingly, warnings have been issued for not sharing any personal data with Chinese portals. Although, Germany is yet to reach a formal public policy decision on whether to let Chinese telecoms equipment company Huawei supply infrastructure to German cellphone service providers or not. Whatever, it be China is on the path of isolation unless they reboot themselves. #MentorTalk #HemantBatra
