Chine. Adopted last April, the anti-espionage law which comes into force this Saturday, July 1 in China worries expatriates. Because the version of this law, adopted in 2014, becomes more restrictive: “the acquisition or provision of any document affecting national security and the interests of the State” will henceforth be illegal. On the other hand, the text does not specify what are national security and the interests of the Chinese state. With this new version, the authorities will be able to search the electrical appliances and other property of suspicious people and will be able to prevent them from leaving the territory. Worse, telecommunications companies will be obliged to provide technical assistance when the police make a request.
Drugs. Australia has chosen a new path to combat mental illness. From this Saturday, July 1, ecstasy and hallucinogenic mushrooms can be used for medical purposes. The large island of Oceania will become one of the first countries in the world to legalize such a medical practice. Licensed psychiatrists will be able to prescribe the substances, also known as MDMA and psilocybin, for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder and certain types of depression, according to a February decision by Australia’s drug watchdog .
