China stealing US research on COVID-19: Mike Pompeo
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday accused China of “stealing” US intellectual property and data related to COVID-19 research.
Pompeo’s allegations came a day after the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security claimed that organisations conducting research into COVID-19 may be targeted by computer hackers linked to the Chinese government.
“The US condemns attempts by cyber actors and non-traditional collectors affiliated with People’s Republic of China (PRC) to steal US intellectual property and data related to COVID-19 research,” Pompeo said in a statement.
