The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is creating new laws that could give it legal ground to spy on users, undermine the security of U.S. technology, and expand its control of the global Internet.
The new push comes from Chinese laws falsely rumored to have been defeated by foreign pressure. These include a “counterterrorism” law that will force U.S. technology companies to hand over their security keys, and a “national security” law that may expand the CCP’s policies for controlling the Internet abroad.
