China to pass controversial new anti-terror law Sunday

wwntradio.com "China's foreign minister on Wednesday insisted that USA companies have nothing to fear from a new anti-terrorism law that the Obama administration warns could require firms to open up their proprietary source code to Beijing, Reuters reports". Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said he was "dissatisfied" with the United States position and hoped they respected China's lawmaking process and did not adopt "double standards". The legislation is necessary as it meet the practical needs to combat the global and domestic terrorist threat and reflects China's worldwide obligation as a responsible country, and "we demand that the USA stop its unfounded accusation", Hong stressed.
