The Gatestone Institute rapporterar:

On December 1, Beijing implemented the Multi-Level Protection Scheme 2.0, issued pursuant to the 2016 Cybersecurity Law. On January 1, China’s Cryptography Law becomes effective. These measures prohibit foreign companies from encrypting data so that it cannot be read by the Chinese central government and the Communist Party of China. Businesses will be required to turn over encryption keys. Companies will not be able to employ virtual private networks to keep data secret, and some believe they will no longer be allowed to use private servers. Together, these measures allow Beijing to take all the data and communications of foreign companies.

Vilket är en nyhet som borde få larmklockorna att ringa hos alla utländska bolag som har verksamhet i Kina.

(Detta med reservation för att nyheten än så länge bara har en källa och ännu inte rapporterats i mer etablerade medier.)
