China’s state security authorities raided multiple offices of international advisory firm Capvision, state media reported Monday, part of a broader crackdown on the consulting industry

as Beijing tightens control over what it considers sensitive information related to national security. Officers raided Capvision’s office in the eastern city of Suzhou, questioned its employees and searched office devices, a Jiangsu provincial television station reported Monday. The company was a so-called expert network, which connected its clients with people who provided specialist knowledge, largely in mainland China.

Last month, China broadened the scope of its already sweeping counter-espionage law to expand the definition of espionage from covering state secrets and intelligence to any “documents, data, materials or items related to national security and interests” — a move that further spooked foreign businesses. The consulting industry in particular has fallen into the crosshairs.
