Beijing Warns EU of Countermeasures Over Proposed Cybersecurity Law

China's Ministry of Commerce has formally notified the European Commission that it may retaliate if the European Union proceeds with a draft Cybersecurity Act that, for the first time, would mandate the removal of certain vendors from critical infrastructure. In a confidential document submitted to Brussels, Chinese officials argued that the legislation unfairly targets Chinese companies and could disrupt global supply chains. The move escalates tensions between Beijing and Brussels, with China warning of unspecified trade measures should the act be implemented in its current form.
