Walmart has recently struggled in China. After being accused of allegedly halting the sale of products from Xinjiang, the retail giant received a warning issued by Chinese police for alleged breaches of China’s cybersecurity regulations, as the regime tightens its grip on how companies inside its borders process data.
According to a report dated Jan. 5 by state-owned outlet China Quality News Network, police in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen discovered 19 “vulnerabilities” in Walmart’s network infrastructure in late November, and police have now accused the company of being slow to address the loopholes in violation of China’s cybersecurity laws.
