US lawmakers 'fail to grasp China anti-terror law'

Misunderstandings have arisen from US opposition to a Chinese draft law asking US corporations to disclose their security-related data, a spokeswoman for the annual session of China's top legislature said on Wednesday.

It is good to see the US paying attention to China's anti-terrorism law, said Fu Ying, spokeswoman for the third session of the 12th National People's Congress.

But misunderstandings have stemmed from United States' requests for Chinese enterprises in that country to reveal security-related information. The US is arguing that the proposed Chinese legislation should not apply to US companies.
