The measure was<br \/>\ntaken out of concern that personal devices could be vulnerable to<br \/>\nhacking or unauthorized data access by foreign intelligence<br \/>\nservices.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, officials entering China often travel with<br \/>\nstripped-down &#8220;clean&#8221; devices, temporary laptops and tightly<br \/>\ncontrolled communications systems designed to minimize the risk of<br \/>\nsurveillance, hacking or data collection. Security agencies also<br \/>\ndiscourage officials from using local charging infrastructure.<br \/>\nCompromised USB charging stations, charging cables or ports can<br \/>\npotentially be used to steal data or install malicious software<br \/>\nonto a device.<\/p>\n<p>Similar security measures are used not only by American<br \/>\nofficials, but also by top managers of Apple, Boeing, Qualcomm and<br \/>\nBlackRock who arrived in China with the president.<\/p>\n<p>The precautions can transform even routine tasks into logistical<br \/>\nheadaches. Messages that would normally travel instantly through<br \/>\nencrypted apps or synced devices are instead routed through<br \/>\ncontrolled channels, temporary accounts or relayed in person.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Shealah Craighead \/ White House<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here we are to serve you with news right now.
