China wants to have deeper internet security and anti-terrorism cooperation with the United States, China's public security minister told the visiting director of the FBI, state news agency Xinhua said.

China passed a new antiterrorism law that stepped back from previous language of concern to global technology firms, but which still raises questions about its scope and the potential impact on companies doing business there.

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday called on all nations to respect each other's cyber sovereignty and said there should be no Internet hegemony.
