中国将对侵犯个人信息罪进行惩罚
China's top court and prosecutor have jointly issued a judicial interpretation for personal information encroachment.
中国最高人民法院与检察院联合对侵犯个人信息做出了司法解释。
According to the rules, those who illegally obtain, sell or provide 500 pieces of data related to personal credit or property information could face a prison term of up to seven years.
The interpretation is the first document of its kind to ensure data protection for citizens personal information.
The move comes amid increasing public outcry against rampant online and telecom fraud spreading across China.
For more on the protection of personal information, CRI's Zhao Ying earlier spoke to Wang Peng, legal consultant for ZTE USA.
