I've just read the article you linked[1], as well as several others [2][3][4] and cannot find any information about this:

>all companies foreign or not must provide unencrypted access to data to the Chinese government and must do so in secrecy

either plainly stated or implied.

Can you provide a source for this claim? I don't doubt that this may occur, but I'd like to speak with _my own_ managers about my china & encryption concerns in an informed way.

This is the most in-depth article I've seen on the topic: https://www.chinalawblog.com/2019/11/chinas-new-cryptography....


Care to post which part of the article says that companies must give Chins user’s private keys?
