US vice president Mike Pence sharply criticised what he said was China's theft of US technology on Thursday, and he urged Google to immediately end development of its Dragonfly app that would make it easier to track someone's internet searches.

Pence said in a speech that business leaders are now thinking twice before entering the Chinese market "if it means turning over their intellectual property or abetting Beijing’s oppression."
