Why China's draft cybersecurity, counter terrorism and NGO laws have potentially chilling implications for multinationals.
The cybersecurity and counterterrorism laws codify sweeping powers for the government to combat perceived threats, from widespread censorship to heightened control over certain technologies. Many firms are concerned that this may impinge on their privacy and mean that they would have to pass on sensitive intellectual property to the government in the name of ‘national security’.
The Chamber’s Beijing Chapter is delighted to host Bruce Fu, director of APCO Worldwide, and Ben Wootliff, Managing Director of Control Risks, to elaborate on this topic.
