China's 'draconian' new cyber security law slammed by rights groups and businesses

China has approved a controversial new cybersecurity law, drawing swift criticism from international business and human rights groups.

The Chinese government says the new law, which was approved by legislators on Monday, will strengthen the protection of personal information and combat online fraud. But critics say it tightens China's grip on the Internet by requiring service providers to collect personal information and preventing data collected in China from leaving the country.
