BEIJING—China has asked some of the country’s state-run companies to avoid business trips to the United States and its allies, Bloomberg reported Jan. 15.
The State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), which oversees about 100 government-run companies, has told some firms in recent weeks to only take secure, company-issued laptops meant for overseas use if traveling is necessary, according to the report, citing people familiar with the request.
