China’s largest academic database, CNKI, has informed several foreign universities and research institutions that some of their access will be cancelled from April onwards, citing the new Chinese Data Security Law. Universities in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and the US have all announced the suspension of some of CNKI’s services from April 1. CNKI, co-founded by Tsinghua University and Tsinghua Tongfang, dominates the Chinese academic literature network database service market.
