China moves to block information security threat
China’s top legislature has been debating how it can more effectively prevent its citizens’ personal information from being leaked and misused.
The four-day National People’s Congress Standing Committee concluded with an outline of a new law designed to better protect citizen data.
The law would forbid staff in government offices, financial, medical and educational institutions, transport and communications departments from leaking or selling citizen information.
Offenders could face a maximum jail term of three years as well as fines. Those who obtain private information illegally would face the same penalties as those who illegally distribute them.
Personal reputation and privacy is protected under the general provisions of civil law in China. Separate laws and government regulations, such as those concerning the issue of identification cards, and the management of hospitals, ban unauthorised divulgence of private information.
Banks and internet service providers in China have widely adopted self regulatory rules in this field.
