BEIJING: China may delay full implementation of controversial new cyber security rules, giving companies more time to prepare, two people who attended a meeting on May 19 between the country's Internet regulator, businesses and diplomats told Reuters.

The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) called the meeting – with around 100 participants, including representatives from global technology firms – to present last-minute changes to implementation rules for China's new Cyber Security Law which is due to come into effect on June 1.
