US business groups are seeking "urgent discussions" over new Chinese rules
requiring foreign firms to hand over source code and other measures.
The groups wrote to senior government officials after the introduction of
the cybersecurity regulations at the end of last year.
The US Chamber of Commerce and other groups called the rules "intrusive".
The regulations initially apply to firms selling products to Chinese banks
but are part of a wider review.
"An overly broad, opaque, discriminatory approach to cybersecurity policy
that restricts global internet and ICT products and services would
ultimately isolate Chinese ICT firms from the global marketplace and weaken
cybersecurity, thereby harming China's economic growth and development and
restricting customer choice," the letter read.
The groups said that the rules would force technology sellers to create
backdoors for the Chinese government, adopt Chinese encryption algorithms
and disclose sensitive intellectual property.
Firms planning to sell computer equipment to Chinese banks would also have
to set up research and development centres in the country, get permits for
workers servicing technology equipment and build "ports" which enable
Chinese officials to manage and monitor data processed by their hardware,
Reuters reported.
Source code is the usually tightly guarded series of commands that create
programs. For most computing and networking equipment, it would have to be
turned over to officials, according to the new regulations.
Tension
In the letter, a copy of which has been seen by the BBC, the groups have
asked the Chinese government to delay implementation of the regulations and
"grant an opportunity for discussion and dialogue for interested
stakeholders with agencies responsible for the initiatives".
They added: "The domestic purchasing and related requirements proposed
recently for China's banking sector... would unnecessarily restrict the
ability of Chinese entities to source the most reliable and secure
technologies, which are developed in the global supply chain," the letter,
which was dated 28 January, read.
The letter from the American groups, including the US Chamber of Commerce,
AmCham China and 16 others, was addressed to the Central Leading Small Group
for Cyberspace Affairs, which is led personally by Chinese President Xi
Jinping.
It comes at a time of heightened tension between the USA and China over
cybersecurity. In May last year, Beijing denounced US charges against
Chinese army officers accused of economic cyber-espionage.
Pressure
It was also alleged that the US National Security Agency spied on Chinese
firm Huawei, while the US Senate claimed that the Chinese government broke
into the computers of airlines and military contractors.
American tech firms, such as Cisco and Microsoft, are facing increased
pressure from Chinese authorities to accept rigorous security checks before
their products can be purchased by China's sprawling, state-run financial
institutions.
Beijing has considered its reliance on foreign technology a national
security weakness, particularly following former National Security Agency
contractor Edward Snowden's revelations that US spy agencies planted code in
American-made software to snoop on overseas targets. | t*****a
