Harsh cyber-security law set to come into effect in China
Strict cyber-security law governing data surveillance and storage companies working in China comes into effect this week. The law, which foreign firms have criticised, claiming it favours domestic technology firms, restricts online service providers from collecting and selling user information, with violations of personal rights carrying significant fines. It also gives users the right to have their information deleted in the case of abuse, and introduces more comprehensive security review process to help authorities with investigations. 
Foreign firms have criticised the legislation, saying it forces them to share sensitive data with the authorities and favours domestic technology firms
