China Crackdown on Foreign Firms Widens

China has raided the offices of Capvision Partners, a global consulting firm, accusing it of posing a major risk to China's national security.
The EU envoy to China has expressed concern that the broadening of Beijing's anti-espionage law and investigations into consultancies could hurt foreign investment in China.
Major foreign business lobbies in China have warned that the crackdowns are damaging investor confidence and not conducive to attracting foreign investment.
The scrutiny of consultancies is part of China's tightening grip on sensitive information amid tensions with the US.
Changes to China's espionage law could see more companies ensnared as practically any information could be considered a threat to national security.
