Chinese Embassy Responds to Cloud Service Tender Allegations

In a recent statement, the Chinese Embassy in Colombia pushed back against accusations made by an unidentified country attempting to disrupt a Chinese company’s bid in a public cloud services tender in Colombia. Describing these claims as unfounded, the embassy charged that the motivations behind these allegations are to create unfair barriers against foreign companies while boosting domestic businesses.

The statement, shared via WeChat on November 9, 2025, suggested that the accusing country might be projecting its own behaviors, arguing that these assertions of cybersecurity threats are just a veil for attempts to dominate data sovereignty globally.

China’s Stance on Data Security and Cooperation

The embassy emphasized China’s dedication to upholding data security and privacy, firmly stating that the Chinese government does not force companies to engage in unauthorized data collection abroad. It also highlighted China’s role in initiating global standards for data security, stressing that their approach aligns with respecting local laws and regulations.

Moreover, the embassy recognized Colombia’s established regulatory frameworks aimed at safeguarding data integrity, adding that the ongoing reform of Colombia’s public cloud platform is an exercise in reinforcing national data sovereignty. Calling for all stakeholders to join in cultivating a fair and unbiased business environment, the embassy advocated for global collaboration in establishing data security norms to ensure seamless and orderly data exchanges worldwide.

The statement reflects the existing tension in international tech relations where cybersecurity and cooperation remain pivotal in shaping future dynamics.
