Biden Administration Takes Actions Against China Over Data Security Concerns

The series of measures includes an executive order to protect personal data, an investigation into Chinese 'smart cars,' and sanctions against Chinese entities.

The Biden administration announced an executive order to protect Americans' personal data from foreign adversaries, including China.
An investigation into the national security risks posed by Chinese-made 'smart cars' that can gather sensitive information about Americans has been launched.
Sanctions have been placed on Chinese entities for supporting Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, marking a shift from recent diplomatic engagements.
The actions aim to address concerns over China's influence in the U.S. market, particularly in the automobile sector, and safeguard national security.
Despite recent efforts to improve U.S.-China relations, these measures underscore ongoing tensions and the administration's focus on data security.
