The China Cyberspace Administration on Wednesday announced that the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) has been fined 50 million yuan ($6.84 million) for illegally collecting and processing personal information.
The announcement wrapped up a cybersecurity probe into the academic database since mid-2022. Shortly after the penalty was made public, CNKI said in a statement that it "earnestly accepts (the decision) and resolutely obeys it." ($1 = 7.3055 Chinese yuan renminbi)
