"Kazakhstan supports the Global Initiative on Data Security launched by China and is willing to make it a priority in bilateral cooperation."He said the two countries should resume normal exchanges among all levels as soon as possible, resume port customs clearance and cargo transportation, and explore cooperation between the two countries in areas such as infrastructure, investment, trade, transportation and cultural exchanges.
Global Initiative on Data Security
China on Tuesday held the first International Seminar on Global Digital Governance in Beijing and proposed the Global Initiative on Data Security during the seminar.
It came one month after the U.S. said it was purging "untrusted" Chinese apps under a program dubbed "Clean Network."
The Chinese initiative calls upon various parties to treat data security objectively and reasonably and opposes sabotaging the critical infrastructure of other countries or stealing important data using information technology.The initiative asks countries to encourage companies to abide by the laws and regulations where they operate. And it says countries should not ask domestic companies to store data generated and obtained overseas in their own territory.
