China has passed a data protection law which curtails collection of sensitive personal data and prohibits exporting data of its citizens to countries without equally strict regulation.
China passed a sweeping privacy law aimed at preventing businesses from collecting sensitive personal data Friday, as the country faces an uptick in internet scams, leaks and concerns about tech giants abusing clients' personal information.
The new rules are also expected to further rattle China's tech sector, with companies like ride hailing giant Didi and gaming behemoth Tencent in regulators' crosshairs in recent months over misuse of personal data. The law is modelled after one of the world's strictest online privacy protection laws – the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation.
