New State Secrets Law Defines Three Types of Secrets

A New State Secrets Law has been drafted in China which divides national secrets into absolute secrets which can remain secret up to 30 years, confidential secrets with a 20 year term and common secrets with a term of 10 years. According to the new law, only ministerial or provincial agencies are allowed to define an "absolute secret". Although this new law ends China's previous ability to arbitrarily define a "secret", experts say questions remain as it does not give a clear definition of "commercial secrets".
