Licensed telcos and internet businesses in China face a new wave
of investigations by the Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology (MIIT) as they announce a new enforcement campaign aimed
at ensuring network security compliance.
The campaign will affect telcos, internet businesses, domain
name registration service providers and those otherwise licensed or
certified by MIIT or other relevant telcos authorities (Network
Operating Organisations).
Investigations will focus on reviewing and overseeing the
establishment and operation of network infrastructures and systems
used by such Network Operating Organisations for the purposes of
collecting, storing or otherwise processing user information or
network data, including internet data centres, public cloud service
platforms, internet content delivery networks, instant
communication systems, network transaction systems, email systems,
app stores, apps and backend platforms etc.
