World’s largest asset manager BlackRock

 

World’s largest asset manager BlackRock to employees : You cannot bring your phones and laptops to China, instead


A tough new travel rule lands when nerves already run high. The world’s biggest asset manager tightens device use for trips to China and asks teams to adapt fast. In plain terms, BlackRock limits what employees carry and how they connect, because risk travels with data, not only with people. The goal stays simple : protect information, protect staff and protect operations.

Why this travel-device policy now

An internal memo announces a “policy enhancement” effective July 16. Staff on business trips to China may not use company iPhones, iPads, or laptops. Remote access through virtual private networks also stays off. During personal travel in China, employees lose access to the corporate network to reduce exposure.

Rules reflect a reality firms know well: compliance demands shape daily work. China’s 2021 data security laws require stricter handling of information and infrastructure. Global companies answer by building onshore data centers that keep Chinese data inside the country. That choice brings safety gains, yet adds cost and operational friction across teams.
