Meanwhile, the US national security panel of CFIUS has been hearing about (= considering to accept) a plea from Tencent, a de facto surveillance arm of the PLA, on why the US should allow it to keep its ownership stakes in American game developers such as Riot Games and Epic Games. [1]
Last year, the previous US administration ordered Tencent to divest US holdings because of the CCP's National Intelligence Law. [2] Fully enacted in 2018, the CCP's 'law' insists that "everyone in China is responsible for China's state security." [PDF]
Let that last sentence above sink in for a moment and try to speculate why the current US administration still doesn't seem to care about it much while "urging the US to become more competitive against China." (What a virtue signalling nothingness the phrase is.)
