Chinese national security authorities will have greater power to inspect smartphones and other electronic devices beginning Monday
The new powers are part of stronger anti-espionage laws that took effect,. The power of inspection extends to the phones of foreigners in the country.
The new espionage law broadens the information covered to anything involving “national security and interests.”
National security authorities now are permitted to inspect baggage and electronic devices simply on suspicion of espionage.
