U.S. DELEGATION IN CHINA UNDER STRICT DIGITAL LOCKDOWN — TRUMP TEAM DITCHES PERSONAL DEVICES AMID ESPIONAGE FEARS

The entire U.S. delegation led by President Trump has left their personal smartphones, laptops, and tablets at home while in China.

Officials, aides, and Secret Service personnel are using specially issued “clean” or burner devices with heavily restricted functionality and limited data access.

U.S. federal guidelines strictly prohibit plugging any equipment into unknown USB ports or local charging stations due to the high risk of malware or data theft.

Only verified government chargers and power banks are permitted.

American officials are operating on the assumption that every Wi-Fi network and electronic device in China is potentially compromised.

These extreme digital hygiene measures apply not only to government officials but also to the CEOs of major American corporations accompanying Trump.

China’s embassy spokesman Liu Pengyu has rejected all accusations of cyber espionage.
When you are poor, you are not afraid of thieves. Zambian delegations to China are not afraid of being hacked.
