Two new sets of regulations are intended to improve the planning, construction and administration of international communications facilities in China, against the backdrop of safeguarding the interests of the state and protecting state sovereignty over communications and state security.

China's Ministry of Information Industry (MII) has recently promulgated the Administration of the Construction of International Communications Facilities Provisions (the Communications Facilities Provisions), which entered into effect on August 1 2002. The new regulations have been issued pursuant to the PRC Telecommunications Regulations  (中华人民共和国电信条例) (the Telecom Regulations), and should also be read in conjunction with the recently promulgated Administration of International Communications Gateway Exchanges Procedures (the Gateway Procedures), which are scheduled to take effect from October 1 2002.
