"Am I a CII operator?" - New regulation in China provides more clarity
September 21, 2021

Given the more onerous obligation on CII operators, we are constantly asked the same key question by our clients who do business in China: “Am I a CII operator?”. Now, a new regulation provides more clarity on this.
