Senators skeptical of China’s promise to stop taking US tech

Chinese officials are promising to stop forcing U.S. companies to surrender sensitive technology as a condition of operating in the country, but top lawmakers are skeptical.

“For decades, China fooled the world into thinking they would be a responsible international partner,” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., told the Washington Examiner. “We must not let them fool us into thinking this new law is anything other than a shiny object that will do nothing to stop Chinese state-directed actors’ continued assault on U.S. companies’ intellectual property and trade secrets.”
