China’s top spy agency has warned that the “tech war” waged by the US could get worse.

“It is foreseeable that the United States will continue to pursue anti-globalisation and decoupling-China policies to maintain its hegemony,” the Ministry of State Security said in a rare public statement on its official WeChat account on Saturday.

The ministry predicted that the US would roll out another round of sanctions to contain China’s hi-tech development, in part because of tech giant Huawei.

“Recently, Huawei has launched a series of consumer products such as the Mate 60 Pro, making an important breakthrough for China in the semiconductor domain” and this upset the US,” the ministry said in its post.
