In its annual report released Thursday, the BfV agency noted that Chinese government offices have access to data stored in China by companies such as Tencent, Alibaba "as well as other apps, web services and mobility providers such as for example providers" that operate in Germany.
"Any customer here in Germany who uses such a system shouldn't be surprised if this data is abused in Beijing," he told reporters. "We can only warn against this."
