華盛頓從國安角度看中國停止輸出卻共享國際船舶運輸數據的威脅:
[ Logink’s ability to share information internationally “serves the ‘One Belt One Road’ national strategy,” according to its website, “and has become a ‘Chinese window’ for China to integrate international logistics information exchange and sharing.”
China is expanding its window into world cargo flows as global access to ship-location information in Chinese waters has plunged because of a new data-privacy law that took effect in November.
Concerns about Logink are similar to those around Chinese telecommunications companies Huawei Technologies Co. and ZTE Corp. : They all carry other parties’ data that Chinese authorities could exploit to China’s benefit or to the detriment of those who communicate over the networks. By crunching data crossing Logink, China could spot and exploit shortages, gluts and trends before others do, say industry officials.
“The most obvious risk of Logink is that it can help Chinese companies grow faster because of its data insights,” said Mees van der Wiel, a business consultant at Portbase, the digital data network of the Port of Rotterdam, Europe’s largest port.
Chinese state-owned shipping company Cosco in 2018 announced a digital system similar to Logink for Greece, including the giant Port of Piraeus outside Athens, which Cosco controls. Greek maritime business leaders feared the system would give China sensitive information about their commercial operations and even on the Greek navy. The Greek government, pressed by its industry, last January passed a law requiring any such system and the data it collects be controlled only by the state.]
