On April 26, 2024, Order No. 3 of the Ministry of State Security of the People's Republic of China was promulgated, which will come into force on July 1, 2024 (Source: Ministry of State Security of the People's Republic of China)
These two departmental rules comprehensively regulate the administrative law enforcement and criminal case-handling procedures of China's state security organs (which are the organs in charge of counter-espionage work).
The topics involved include general provisions, prevention guidance, investigation and evidence collection, compensation for expropriation, administrative punishment, time period and service, lawyers' participation in criminal proceedings, evidence, compulsory measures, case filing, withdrawal, investigation, enforcement of criminal punishments, special procedures, supplementary provisions, etc.
Thus, the inspection powers of this provision are based on domestic security precautions: law enforcement officials are required to obtain approval from their superiors and to produce inspection notices or certificates before they can inspect electronic devices. In the event of an emergency, law enforcement officers can conduct inspections directly. The purpose is to take precautions against national security, emphasizing the prevention and crackdown on potential security threats.
With the opening of the relevant visa-free policy, the scale of entry and exit into China is still expanding. According to the data of the first quarter of 2024, the total number of people entering and leaving the country has been inspected by immigration management agencies has exceeded 141 million, an increase of 117.8% year-on-year.
In the first quarter of 2024, China's immigration authorities investigated and handled more than 10,000 cases of crimes that obstructed national (border) border management, and arrested more than 14,000 criminal suspects, of which more than 12,000 were subject to criminal coercive measures and 1,785 were administratively investigated and punished in accordance with the law.
In fact, not only China, but also the United States has similar regulations in terms of entry inspection. As early as 2017, the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles reminded arrivals of the relevant regulations in the United States.
