Chinese government organizations have increasingly begun to restrict the use of Apple and Samsung devices by their employees. Workers are advised to choose equipment from domestic manufacturers.
As stated in the Bloomberg material, over the past few months, 8 provinces in China have introduced a similar unspoken policy. Prior to this, the administration of Chinese President Xi Jinping decided to gradually reduce the number of foreign brands on the market. According to Chinese officials, this is a necessary measure to reduce the leakage of secret data abroad.
At the same time, back in September, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning reported that there would be no restrictions on the purchase of foreign equipment. In theory, Chinese institutions will issue separate directives regarding recommended equipment for their employees. In any case, Beijing is seeking to popularize its manufacturer Huawei.
