China's industry ministry has passed new rules mandating that important industrial data be stored within the country, as Beijing expands its web of regulations governing data security in a drive to tighten control over domestic data.
"Important" and "core" industrial data collected and generated in mainland China should be kept within the country, while data that needs to be exported should undergo a security assessment, according to new regulations published by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on Tuesday.
