U.S. President Donald Trump is leaving office on the 20th, and his last term in office remains unchanged in his hard-line approach to China. His advisors and White House officials revealed that Trump instructed government agencies to minimize their purchases of Chinese goods and services.

Reuters reported that U.S. national security adviser Robert O’Brien accused the Chinese Communist government in a statement of targeting U.S. government information systems and trying to steal personnel records, military plans and other information from the systems through the Internet and other means.
Therefore, the U.S. must take appropriate action to protect U.S. interests, such as adjusting regulations, policies or taking other necessary measures to reduce the risk of Chinese technology and personnel espionage. He said Trump directed government agencies to review internal and “minimize the federal government’s procurement of goods and services from the People’s Republic of China.”
O’Brien did not provide examples of reduced purchases, but another senior administration official said the main goal was to stop China from trying to infiltrate U.S. IT networks.” A component installed by a Chinese company in our network or anything else related to that could be a vulnerability and used to execute China’s civil-military integration strategy. If there is hardware that can get into our network, for example, that could constitute a potential vulnerability.”
