WASHINGTON: In another action against China days before he leaves office, U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday directed government departments to look at ways to minimize procurement of Chinese goods and services to reduce the risks from espionage, his national security adviser said.

He said Trump had directed government bodies to conduct reviews "to minimize the procurement of People’s Republic of China goods and services by the Federal Government." "Anything having to do with Chinese companies that are going to have kit components in our network could potentially become a vulnerability that could be used to continue China's military-civil fusion strategy," the official said."If there's hardware, for example, that would make its way into our networks, that's the sort of stuff that could pose a potential vulnerability.
