China proposed a four-tier classification to respond to data security incidents, showing its concern about data leaks and hacking in the country.
The plan is due to increased tensions with the United States and its allies. It follows an incident where a hacker claimed to have gotten a large amount of personal information on one billion Chinese from the Shanghai police.

China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) published a detailed draft plan laying out how local governments and companies should assess and respond to incidents.
The plan is seeking public opinions. It suggests a four-tier, color-coded system based on the level of harm to national security, a company’s online and information network, or the functioning of the economy.
Incidents will be considered “especially grave” if they cause losses over 1 billion yuan ($141 million) and affect the personal information of more than 100 million people, or the “sensitive” information of over 10 million people. In these cases, a red warning must be issued.
According to the plan, when there are red or orange warnings, the companies and local regulatory authorities must create a 24-hour work schedule to handle the incident. They also need to inform MIIT of the data breach within ten minutes of it happening, along with other actions.
“If the incident is judged to be grave… it should be immediately reported to the local industry regulatory department, no late reporting, false reporting, concealment or omission of reporting is allowed,” MIIT said.
