BEIJING—The Chinese regime published new draft measures on Thursday aimed at bolstering its new data security law, including definitions of what it considered “core” and “important” data.

The Chinese regime implemented the Data Security Law on Sept. 1. which requires all companies in China to classify the data they handle into several categories and governs how such data is stored, and transferred to other parties.
