China is set to enhance its ability to monitor new types of money laundering risks as emerging technologies have made detecting these activities more difficult, a senior legislator said on Monday.

9月9日，资深立法者表示，由于各种新技术、新业态发展迅速，准确辨别洗钱活动难度加大。

Wang Xiang, an official with the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the country's top legislature, said at a news conference that a draft amendment to the Anti-Money Laundering Law aims to address the growing challenges posed by new technologies and sectors.

全国人大常委会法工委发言人王翔9日在记者会上表示：“魔高一尺，道高一丈。” 反洗钱法修订草案二次审议稿将加强反洗钱监测分析水平，提高对新型洗钱风险的监测分析能力。

"The revision seeks to tackle the difficulties in detecting and addressing money laundering activities in an era where new technologies and emerging businesses are booming," Wang said.

王翔表示：“修订旨在解决在新技术、新业态蓬勃发展的时代发现和处理洗钱活动的困难。”

The draft amendment requires government agencies to issue timely guidelines to monitor money laundering risks in emerging industries. It also mandates that anti-money laundering departments enhance monitoring and analysis systems, with suspicious transactions flagged for authorities.

为此，修订草案二次审议稿作了以下修改：一是增加规定反洗钱工作应当依法进行，确保反洗钱措施与洗钱风险相适应，保障资金流转和金融服务正常进行，维护单位和个人的合法权益。

Financial institutions will be required to assess money laundering crimes associated with new sectors and take proportionate measures to mitigate them, Wang added. He stressed, however, that actions should be "proportionate to the risks to ensure normal financial flows and services."

王翔表示，金融机构开展客户尽职调查、采取洗钱风险管理措施等涉及单位和个人的权益，需要处理好管理洗钱风险与优化金融服务的关系。他强调，行动应“与风险相称，以确保正常的资金流动和服务。”

The amendment will also tighten regulations on the use of anti-money laundering information, with a focus on data security and privacy protection.

该修正案还明确要求反洗钱服务机构及其工作人员对提供服务获得的数据、信息，应当依法妥善处理，确保数据、信息安全。
