I can certainly understand they may want to enforce a common CRS for all government data sources, surveying, engineering, transport, etc. What I was interested in is how this chinese law/polcy accounts for interoperability between international systems and formats?

Of course, that's why there are more accurate CRS's available. With regards to Emergency Management needs though, is there a requirement for accuracy greater than 1 meter? It would be interesting to hear if there are some identified use cases.
I'll try to attend the meeting but have missed past meetings because Friday's are usually packed for me.
