Journalist war between China and Australia
- Australia has not provided reasonable explanation for raiding the residences of four Chinese journalists and has not returned all their seized items after Australian intelligence agency staff raided the residences of Chinese journalists in 6-26-20.
- Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton on Sunday, 9-7-20 warned foreign journalists working in the country they might come under the scrutiny of federal agencies if they provide a “slanted view” of Australian affairs. “If people are here as journalists and they’re reporting fairly on the news, then that’s fine,” Dutton told ABC TV’s Insiders program. He said reporters shouldn’t provide “a slanted view to a particular community.” Dutton wouldn’t confirm reports four Chinese journalists were questioned by Australia’s national security agency ASIO in June, but said there had been “ASIO activity.” “Where ASIO has sufficient grounds for the execution of a search warrant or for activities otherwise, then they’ll undertake that activity,” he said. “If people are masquerading as journalists or business leaders or whoever they might be and there’s evidence that they are acting in a contrary nature to Australian law, then ASIO and the Australian Federal Police and other agencies will act.”
- The reporters Bill Birtles and Michael Smith sought refuge in the Australian Embassy in Beijing and the consulate in Shanghai while diplomats negotiated their departure. Four days later 9-7-20 , they were cleared to leave the country. Birtles and Smith were the last reporters for Australian outlets remaining in China.

- 9-24-20 China has banned entry for Clive C Hamilton and Alex Joske under country’s Exit and Entry Administration Law, after Australia revoked visa of Chinese scholars .

这一倡议的主要内容包括：
一是客观理性看待数据安全，致力于维护全球供应链开放、安全和稳定。
二是反对利用信息技术破坏他国关键基础设施或窃取重要数据。
三是采取措施防范和制止侵害个人信息的行为，不得滥用信息技术对他国进行大规模监控，或非法采集他国公民个人信息。
四是要求企业尊重当地法律，不得强制要求本国企业将境外产生、获取的数据存储在本国境内。

八是信息技术企业不得利用用户对产品依赖，谋取不正当利益。
Wang also said the initiative looks to put an end to activities that “infringe upon personal information” and oppose using technology to conduct mass surveillance against other states.
Companies should also respect the laws of host countries and stop coercing domestic firms to store data generated overseas in their own territory, the initiative added.
