"Xi Jinping Urges Robust Cybersecurity Measures to Protect China's Internet"

Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for the construction of a "solid" security barrier around China's internet, emphasizing the need for the ruling Communist Party's supervision. Xi stressed the importance of managing and ensuring access to the internet in accordance with the law, with the Party's management and the principle of making the internet work for the people. China has been actively implementing various cybersecurity measures, including passing national security laws, requiring data storage on servers in China, and updating anti-espionage legislation. Navigating China's complex regulations on online data and information poses risks for companies, as seen in recent incidents involving police visits and investigations into firms like Bain & Co and Didi Global.
