Recalling that November 1 is the 7th anniversary of the promulgation and implementation of the Antiespionage Law, the state-owned CCTV on November 1 telecast a special programme titled 'Secretly detect
dangerous leaks'. It said public security agencies have discovered that "some overseas data companies have
long-term, large-scale, and real-time collection of data" and added that "The phantom of "commercial
espionage" in the field of data security is full of domestic ship data". The programme disclosed that since 2020,
national security agencies have carried out special operations and found that a group of foreign-related
maritime data companies and radio enthusiasts in Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong and other places have built
more than 700 AIS (automatic identification system for ships) base stations on the important islands and inland
ports of China's coastline. Security agencies acted in accordance with the "Anti-espionage Law" and "Data
Security Law" related regulations, seized a large number of base station equipment, intercepted more than
10,000 GB of outgoing maritime data, promptly cut off the data leakage channels, and required relevant
organizations and individuals to make rectifications. Eliminate hidden dangers. The programme stated in
conclusion that data resources are of great value to the country's economic and social development, and data
security governance and data security protection are also important elements of competition among major
powers.
