European business lobby slams China's draft national security law

Beijing

CHINA'S draft National Security Law is excessively broad and would isolate the country from crucial technologies, a European business lobby said on Wednesday, in the latest backlash from foreign industry over a suite of pending Chinese regulations.

Provisions to tighten cybersecurity are core to the pending law, one of several moves Beijing has pursued after former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden disclosed that US spy agencies planted code in American tech exports to snoop on overseas targets.
