LONDON \u2014 Western countries risk losing control of technologies that are key to internet security and economic prosperity to nations like China and Russia if they don\u2019t act to deal with the threat, one of the UK\u2019s top spy chiefs warned Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cSignificant technology<\/a> leadership is moving east\u201d and causing a conflict of interests and values, Jeremy Fleming, director of government electronic surveillance agency GCHQ, said in a speech.<\/p>\n

Singling out China as a particular threat, he said the country\u2019s \u201csize and technological weight means that it has the potential to control the global operating system.\u201d<\/p>\n

China is an early adopter of emerging technologies but it also has a \u201ccompeting vision for the future of cyberspace,\u201d and it\u2019s playing an influential role in the debate around international rules and standards, he said.<\/p>\n

He raised the possibility of countries with \u201cilliberal values\u201d like China building them into technical standards that the world ends up relying on, and using their state power to control and dominate technology markets, turning them into arenas of geopolitical competition.<\/p>\n

Russian hacking and other nefarious online activity, meanwhile, poses the most acute threat to the UK but, like a smartphone app<\/a> vulnerability, could be avoided.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s Foreign Ministry blasted the remarks, saying they were \u201ctotally groundless and unreasonable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWestern countries, such as the UK and US, are actually the true empires of hacking and tapping,\u201d ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a briefing in Beijing.<\/p>\n

Left unchecked, foreign adversaries could threaten the design and freedom of the internet, Fleming said. He citied as examples the security for emerging technologies like \u201csmart city\u201d sensors used to manage services more efficiently or digital currencies, saying they could be hardwired for data collection or other intrusive capabilities that go against open and democratic societies.<\/p>\n

Britain and other Western countries face \u201ca moment of reckoning,\u201d Fleming said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rules are changing in ways not always controlled by government,\u201d Fleming said in his speech at Imperial College London. \u201cAnd without action it is increasingly clear that the key technologies on which we will rely for our future prosperity and security won\u2019t be shaped and controlled by the West.\u201d<\/p>\n

Britain should not take its status as a cyber power for granted, and it should work on developing \u201csovereign technologies\u201d such as high-speed quantum computing and cryptographic technology to protect sensitive information, Fleming said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
