Chinas Peoples Daily launched into a bitter attack on US tech firms this morning, highlighting tensions raised by NSA surveillance. On its microblogging platform, the state-run media outlet blasted Google, Apple, Microsoft and others for their cooperation with US government surveillance. After naming the companies, the paper promised new regulations and punishments, as translated by Reuters: To resist the naked Internet hegemony, we will draw up international regulations, and strengthen technology safeguards, but we will also severely punish the pawns of the villain. The English-language China Daily offered a more restrained take in print, saying simply that online services have become a major way for the US to steal information globally. The companies involved have uniformly denied cooperating with the NSA, except where legally compelled to do so.
