China's cyberspace regulator has planned to issue new rules controlling the use of wireless file-sharing functions like Bluetooth and AirDrop for national security reasons.

The Cyberspace Administration of China released a draft proposal earlier this week. CNN (US) said the purpose of this move is to “maintain national security and social interests” by regulating the use of short-range wireless communication tools such as Bluetooth, Wifi and other technologies.
The draft says people should not publish or share “illegal or harmful” information on such networks and should report violations to regulators. Those creating or supporting such networks should require users to provide their real names and other personal information.
The draft says service providers should conduct security assessments when launching any new applications or features that are likely to “mobilize the public” or facilitate “public expression.” The regulator will accept public feedback on the proposed rules until July 6.
In addition to Apple's AirDrop, Google's Nearby Share feature also allows users to transfer data between Android and Chrome OS devices via Bluetooth, wifi. Chinese phone makers such as Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo also offer similar services.
