In 2017, a member of the People’s Liberation Army of China hacked Equifax, one of the largest credit companies in the U.S., and obtained personal information of 145 million Americans. Since this incident, the trade war between the United States and China has accelerated, and accordingly, espionage through the Internet is intensifying. It is often reported that Chinese companies, such as Alibaba, are deeply involved in spying in China. What is the reason?
To some extent, the Chinese industry is always under the surveillance of the Chinese government. Although its origins are vague, the US officials view that the relationship between the government and the business is getting deeper recently. In 2017, the Chinese government enforced the National Intelligence Act and allowed national intelligence agencies to request cooperation in espionage activities from enterprises. In addition, in 2018, the U.S. National Security Agency instructed state intelligence agencies to strengthen the collection of information about the Chinese government and businesses. Trump Securities speaks of the usual public-private cooperation in China.
A large amount of information obtained by hacking by Chinese intelligence agencies is ordered to be processed by a private enterprise equipped with big data analysis function in China, and the processed information is immediately returned to spying. This eliminates the need to bring expensive facilities at your own expense so that information collected by hacking by intelligence agencies can be used for corporate analysis capabilities and processed quickly.
However, there are also voices of concern that Chinese companies are forced to do something different from their own. In some cases, compensation can be paid to the government. Meanwhile, since Chinese companies must obey the government’s instructions to the last, the relationship between the government and the business can be expressed as a subordinate to the government.
