At a press conference today, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), speaking for Chinese industry, urged the EU to fully solicit global business views as it advances a draft revision to its Cybersecurity Law and the Industrial Accelerator Act. CCPIT warned the measures should be carefully assessed for impacts on China‑EU commercial cooperation, the EU’s industrial development and global supply‑chain stability; it called for technology‑neutral, performance‑based rules and the deletion or substantial amendment of any country‑targeted or discriminatory provisions. The group said Preserving existing investments and future bilateral cooperation is essential, described Chinese firms as key partners in Europe’s digitalisation and industrial upgrade, and offered continued cooperation on cybersecurity governance and the green transition while defending an open, fair, non-discriminatory market and stable global supply chains.
