Australia to wall off sensitive tech from China - superadmin - 11-17-2021 SYDNEY – Australia today announced measures to ring-fence dozens of sensitive technologies from foreign interference, stepping up efforts to safeguard against “national security risks” from China and others. Prime Minister Scott Morrison unveiled a list of 63 “critical technologies” to be promoted and protected at an online forum in Sydney – a step towards limiting what the government, industry and universities can and cannot share with foreign counterparts. The list includes 5G communications, quantum technologies – which are based on the physics of sub-atomic particles – artificial intelligence, advanced magnets, 3D printing, drones and vaccines. The measures aim to “balance the economic opportunities of critical technologies with their national security risks”, Morrison told a forum hosted by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. - More -
