The Data Security Law (DSL) represents a milestone in China’s regulatory framework. For the first time information, rather than technology, will be the regulatory focus. That the law was pushed through so quickly is indicative of its importance to policy makers. The key question for firms operating in China is how important it will be for them. The regulation establishes a class of regulated information that is not a state secret but is sensitive enough to China where how it is handled and where it is transferred is now regulated. How will this impact the operations of companies in China? Where does the DSL fit into the broader regulatory framework?

The access to government procurement work in China continues to be a fundamental obstacle for foreign companies in China in the field of Construction.

According to the EU parliament, the longer China fails to accede to the World Trade Organisation (WTO)’s Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) and open up its procurement markets, the more likely it is to end up in the crosshairs of the EU’s proposed International Procurement Instrument.
