The terminology is unfortunate at best, deliberately racist at worst. Authoritarian nationalists' obsession with them being "clean" and others being "unclean" has a very sordid history. Even if they're misnomers, "secure" or "safe" would have been better, or any number of completely value-neutral names.

Why do you need to pretend things are racist when they aren't? IT and security use medical terms like 'viruses', and bad computers are 'wiped clean', so 'clean' is a common term and there's no reason to pretend that its intended to be racist. A clean network is a joke though and will fail

So you're pretending to read my mind and claiming without evidence that it's some sort of habit? Very convincing. I did say "at worst" didn't I? That's clearly meant to express that it's an extreme on a range of possible motives or interpretations. When there's a broad choice of equally accurate terms and one makes a choice of the one with certain associations, that choice itself can be a signal. Especially when "keeping out the Chinese" is clearly a major focus of the document. It's a possibility, and I stated no more than that.
