Proposed Law Gives Gov't Too Much Control of Internet, Experts Say

(Beijing) – China's proposed cybersecurity law is vague and gives the government too much control over the public's use of the Internet, especially regarding when it can be shut off, experts say.

Wang Sixin, a law professor at Communication University in the capital, said at a forum on the proposed Internet Security Law on July 27 that he is concerned the legislation would give the government too much control of the Net, in part because its clauses are vague and broad.
