President Xi Jinping of China has signed the new Counterespionage Law, replacing the 1993 National Security Law with an updated set of rules that will more closely target foreign spies and Chinese individuals and organizations who collaborate with them.The new emphasis mirrors concerns at the top of the Communist Party that China faces growing political threats from overseas, analysts said.’In terms of name and content the law comprehensively revises the National Security Law to emphasize anti-espionage work,’ Xinhua, the state-run news agency, said Saturday. In previous weeks, Xinhua said that the law was better suited to ‘a new situation, and new tasks, facing the country’s security needs.’
