Beijing (CNS) -- On Wednesday, China's watchdog for the telecom sector started soliciting public opinions on a new draft law to protect personal information.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) published the new draft law on its website, which defined what is considered personal information, such as name, birthdate, identity card number, address and log-in information.
It also said selling or illegally providing personal information will be fined 10,000 yuan ($1,612) to 30,000 yuan. If a crime occurs, criminal liability shall be investigated according to law.
Liu Junhai, professor at the law school of Renmin University, said the move is a response to public concerns about personal information divulgence.
With a legally binding effect, the draft law can help protect people's privacy, he said.
