European governments have been increasing scrutiny of the alleged security and economic risks posed by Chinese companies.
| Belgium’s intelligence service has been monitoring Alibaba’s main logistics hub in Europe for espionage following suspicions Beijing has been exploiting its growing economic presence in the West.
But almost two years on from the site being opened, the Belgian State Security Service has continued monitoring Alibaba’s operations following intelligence assessments, said people familiar with the matter. One area of scrutiny includes the introduction of software systems that collate sensitive economic information.
Concerns about potential espionage at the site were first raised before the hub was built, including in the Belgian parliament. At the time China strongly denied the “unprovoked insinuations” about “so-called security risks of Chinese companies”. The VSSE’s statement to theCainiao denied any wrongdoing. “Data security and privacy protection is of paramount concern to our business.
Cainiao is able to access data about merchants, products, transport details and flows, said a person familiar with its IT systems.
