US Minister of Justice Merrick Garland said on Tuesday that the US Department of Justice will fight against the Chinese government's hacking behavior and other illegal activities, and at the same time, be careful to avoid negative prejudice against Asian Americans and Chinese citizens.
According to Bloomberg, Galan described the measures that the department was taking in response to China: "We want to be cautiously competing with us, a radical competitor -with Americans and the country from the country.The residents are separated by separation, "Gallan said to reporters in Washington:" We must be careful not to forget the difference between the two. "
It is reported that in recent years, the United States has increased its efforts to crack down on activities such as hackers, spies and commercial secrets of the Chinese government, and even closed the country's consulate in Houston.At the same time, the Ministry of Justice was criticized for making prejudice against Asian Americans and Chinese citizens in the United States.
During the period of former US President Trump, the ministry launched the so -called "China Action", including Chinese researchers and scientists working in the United States.The ministry often claims that they are spies, or have been linked to the Chinese military before they have not reported it before, but the government often cannot use any evidence to support allegations in court.Galan did not say whether the Ministry of Justice will end the "China Action" under the Biden government.
Galan: "We will fight Chinese espionage and network activities and everything else, but we will not forget the citizen rights and citizenship of the people of this country,"
