The Chinese government has set new regulations for critical information infrastructure operators to buy tech equipment, which could potentially represent new obstacles for foreign vendors.
The new regulations, which were announced by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), require that domestic critical information infrastructure operators to undergo a review for any tech products or services that affect or may affect national security.
“The network products and services mentioned in these measures mainly refer to core network equipment, high-performance computers and servers, mass storage devices, large databases and application software, network security equipment and cloud computing services,” CAC said in a release.
