The digital age provides new opportunities for global enterprises. With the increasing importance of data security in the world, many countries have adopted legislation to protect their citizens’ personal information and their own information infrastructure, and to supervise and control the cross-border transfer of sensitive data. In China, since the promulgation of the Cybersecurity Law in November 2016, the regulatory framework for cybersecurity and data protection has undergone tremendous changes; and China’s data protection and cybersecurity supervision are becoming increasingly stringent, with the promulgation of the Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law in June and August 2021 respectively, and a series of regulations and national standards (including the drafts for comments) to tie in with the implementation of such laws. Any company which fails to adjust its business practices in time to meet the relevant legal requirements may face serious consequences, such as reputational damage, breach of data security, civil disputes, huge penalties, suspension of business and even criminal liabilities.
