Symantec Chief Technology Officer Mark Bregman said he was also advised to buy a new cellphone for each visit and to throw it away after leaving. Bregman said he kept a separate MacBook Air for use in China, which he re-images on returning, but claimed he didn’t subscribe to the strictest policies. ‘Bregman said the US was also concerned about its companies employing Chinese coders, particularly in security.’”
