BEIJING, July 10 (Xinhua) -- China started to solicit public opinion on Saturday for a draft revision to the country's cybersecurity review regulations.

According to the draft revision issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), information infrastructure and data operators that possess over 1 million items of personal information shall be subject to cybersecurity review when listing abroad.
