Instructions handed out to officials at a cybersecurity meeting in Beijing said that China should insist on managing, operating and providing access to the Internet in accordance with the law.
“We must abide by the party’s governance of the Internet and adhere to the principle of making the Internet work for the people,” Xi said.
It is noted that over the past decade, Xi has made maintaining security a priority, and his concept of security covers everything from politics and economics to the environment and cyberspace.
In 2015, China passed a broader national security law to include cyberspace. A year later, a law was passed containing requirements for security checks and data storage on servers in China.
In 2021, China introduced rules on the so-called critical information infrastructure.
Anti-Spy Law in China
Beijing has passed a sweeping update to its anti-spyware legislation, banning the transmission of any information related to national security and expanding the definition of espionage. It went into effect July 1st.
The US National Center for Counterintelligence and Security said the laws provide Beijing with expanded legal grounds for accessing and controlling data held by US companies in China. Also, any documents, data, materials or items may be considered important to China’s national security. In this regard, the US State Department warned of the risks of unlawful detentions in China.
