On April 27, 2020, the Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) and other eleven government agencies jointly released the final version of the Measures on Cybersecurity Review (“Measures”) (an official Chinese version of the Measures is available here). These Measures will take effect on June 1, 2020.

Under Article 35 of China’s Cybersecurity Law (“CSL”), operators of Critical Information Infrastructure (“CII”) are required to undergo a security review if the procurement of “network products and services” implicates China’s national security.
On May 24, 2019, CAC released a draft version of the Measures (“Draft Measures”) for public comment (see our post on the Draft Measures here), aiming to update the review process established under the Trial Measures.

The final version of the Measures replaces the Trial Measures and largely tracks the framework proposed in the Draft Measures.
Highlights of the final version of the Measures appear below.

SecurityWeek: China Mandates Cybersecurity Reviews for Tech Product Acquisitions

The new rules were first mentioned in the controversial cybersecurity law adopted by China in 2017, and a dozen Chinese government agencies have now shared more information on how tech products should be analyzed.

The list of products and services that should be reviewed include core network equipment, high-performance computers and servers, large-capacity storage systems, large-scale databases and applications, cybersecurity solutions, and cloud services.
The goal, according to Chinese authorities, is to ensure supply chain security and to defend national security. New America provides a full translation of the new rules and the announcement made by Chinese authorities.
