Journal Article
United States and China reach agreement regarding economic espionage and international cybersecurity norms
2015
Overview
On September 25, 2015, during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to the United States, Xi and President Barack Obama announced an agreement relating to certain aspects of cyber-relations. Pursuant to the agreement, \"[t]he United States and China agree that neither country's government will conduct or knowingly support cyber-enabled theft of intellectual property, including trade secrets or other confidential business information, with the intent of providing competitive advantages to companies or commercial sectors.\" The two countries also agreed to cooperate in addressing malicious cyberactivities. Specifically, the United States and China agreed to provide \"timely responses... to requests for information and assistance concerning malicious cyber activities\"; \"to cooperate, in a manner consistent with their respective national laws and relevant international obligations, with requests to investigate cyber-crimes, collect electronic evidence, and mitigate malicious cyber activity emanating from their territory\"; and \"to provide updates on the status and results of those investigation^] to the other side, as appropriate.\" Finally, the agreement indicated that \"[b]oth sides are committed to making common effort to further identify and promote appropriate norms of state behavior in cyberspace within the international community.\" This agreement addresses cyberactivity in the pursuit of economic advantage, rather than those associated with \"traditional intelligence-gathering functions\"; Obama has described such cyberespionage as a \"fundamentally different\" issue.
