美國駐中國大使布蘭斯塔德在華爾街日報發表文章

“What we would point out is we have a very open market in the United States. And that’s not true in China.

“As an example, companies like WeChat can operate in the U.S. But Facebook, Google and these companies cannot operate in China. Cloud computing is heavily restricted.

“There are a lot of areas where we’d like to see more reciprocity, and we’d like to see China being just as open as the U.S.”

The ambassador also said: “But the U.S. also recognizes we need to protect our national security, and we need to protect against losing some of these critical technologies in which we are the world leader.”

布蘭斯塔德寫道：“我們要指出的是，我們美國市場非常開放，而中國卻不是這樣。例如，微信這樣的公司可以在美國運營，但是，臉書和谷歌這樣的公司卻不能在中國運營。云計算領域也受到嚴格限制。”

布蘭斯塔德大使還寫道，“在許多領域里我們希望實現更加對等的待遇，我們希望中國像美國一樣開放。”

不過，這位大使還說，“美國也承認，我們需要保護我們的國家安全，需要保護我們居世界領先地位的一些技術。”
