The government has proposed legislative recommendations to strengthen the protection of computer systems for critical infrastructure, and the Legislative Council's Bills Committee is currently reviewing it. Relevant parties are concerned whether sensitive data such as personal information and trade secrets will be involved. The Security Bureau stated that if it involves computer security incidents or criminal investigations, the government has the right to request information and will formulate relevant codes to clarify requirements. The legislation will not target trade secrets and personal information, and operators must have an office in Hong Kong for regulatory purposes
