  It's part of the 2017 National Intelligence Law. Although there is debate regarding the circumstances under which assistance can be compelled, it appears quite broad: The Intelligence Law, by contrast, repeatedly obliges individuals, organizations, and institutions to assist Public Security and State Security officials in carrying out a wide array of “intelligence” work. Article Seven stipulates that “any organization or citizen shall support, assist, and cooperate with state intelligence work according to law.” Article 14, in turn, grants intelligence agencies authority to insist on this support: “state intelligence work organs, when legally carrying forth intelligence work, may demand that concerned organs, organizations, or citizens provide needed support, assistance, and cooperation.” Organizations and citizens must also protect the secrecy of “any state intelligence work secrets of which they are aware.” https://www.lawfareblog.com/beijings-new-national-intelligence-law-defense-offense https://www.lawfareblog.com/beijings-new-national-intelligen...
