Trump says Google CEO committed to US, not Chinese military
by Staff Writers
Washington (AFP) March 27, 2019

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Google CEO Sundar Pichai, whom he'd previously accused of indirectly boosting China's military, has reassured him that he is "totally committed" to US security.

"Just met with @sundarpichai, President of @Google, who is obviously doing quite well," Trump tweeted after a White House meeting. "He stated strongly that he is totally committed to the U.S. Military, not the Chinese Military."

Earlier this month Trump complained that Google's business activities in China were "helping China and their military."

There was also criticism from General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who told Congress "the work that Google is doing in China is indirectly benefiting" China's armed forces.

America's top military officer has also urged US tech giants to step up work on next generation 5G wireless technology so that US markets are not reliant on Chinese innovators, like leading telecom firm Huawei.

Dominating 5G is "in our national interest," the general said.

The US government though has deep suspicions that Huawei's technology would potentially open the doors to Chinese government penetration of US communications.

A Google spokesperson said Pichai had "productive conversations" with Trump about "investing in the future of the American workforce, the growth of emerging technologies and our ongoing commitment to working with the U.S. government."

Strasbourg, France (AFP) March 26, 2019
The European Commission on Tuesday presented its plan to ensure the secure introduction of 5G telecoms networks, with suspicions hanging over Chinese giant Huawei. The United States has accused the firm of posing a security risk to western networks, because of its alleged ties to Chinese intelligence.

The Commission has not yet urged European cou ... read more
