China's diet plan for data hunger

The increasing number of IPOs of Chinese companies abroad is apparently a thorn in Beijing's side. Officials claim that there is great concern that foreign powers - for example in the US - could access their collected data. It is not yet clear whether the tightened rules are about a power struggle between the state and the private sector, or whether the state is actually committed to protecting its citizens' personal data. It's quite possible that both is true.

The auto industry is watching the semiconductor arms race closely.
