China opposes use of espionage law against business

BEIJING, March 4 – China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) spokesman Lou Qinjian stated on Monday that China firmly opposes any attempt to undermine or criticize its business environment through misinterpretations of the country’s counter-espionage law.

During a press conference, Lou emphasized that the revised law does not expand the scope of espionage activities. Instead, it aims to refine the definition of such activities and establish a clear distinction between legal and illegal actions.

The remarks come in the wake of last year’s comprehensive update to China’s anti-espionage legislation, which includes provisions prohibiting the transfer of any information related to national security. This move has raised concerns among foreign businesses and investors about the regulatory landscape in China.
