Trump takes aim at Google over relationship with Chinese govt
- Wednesday | 17th July, 2019
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday his administration would investigate whether Alphabet Inc’s Google supports the Chinese government, following accusations that a company official refuted hours later at a Senate hearing. The president repeated accusations made previously by Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and venture capitalist, that Google may be infiltrated by Chinese intelligence agents. Trump later told reporters he would have various agencies, including potentially the Justice Department, “see if there’s any truth to” Thiel’s accusations. Thiel has called on the FBI and CIA to probe Google on its relations with China, and alleged that the company worked with the Chinese military. Bhatia rejected accusations that Google has been infiltrated by Chinese intelligence agents or that it has turned a “blind eye” to theft of its code.
