BEIJING As China moves to start enforcing a new cybersecurity law, foreign companies face a major problem: They know very little about it.The law whoch was rubber-stamped by the countrys Parliament last year is part of wide-ranging efforts by Beijing to manage the internet within Chinas borders. Those efforts have been stepped up in the years since Edward J. Snowden, the whistle-blower and former American intelligence contractor, revealed that foreign technology firms could help governments spy.And while Chinese officials say the new rules will help guard against cyberattacks and prevent terrorism, critics, many of them from businesses, have their concerns. Companies worry that parts of the new law, whoch takes effect on Thursday, will make their operations in China less secure or more expensive. In some cases, they argue, it could keep them out entirely.
