China has progressively stepped up enforcement of its anti-monopoly and data security regulations. On August 1, 2022, the amended Anti-Monopoly Law came into effect, prohibiting the use of certain technologies to engage in anti-competitive behaviour, raising the maximum fines for violations, and curbing abuse by administrative organizations. When it comes to data security, China has prioritised data protection, data privacy, and cybersecurity through a series of laws and regulations such as the Individual Information Protection Law. At this conference the speakers will focus on these two regulatory dimensions and discuss individual and corporate liabilities.

The regulatory environment is changing fast and non-compliance could expose a company to unforeseen risks, even civil and criminal penalties. For executives, directors, shareholders, and members of a corporation, it is imperative to have a clear understanding of the differences between corporate and individual liabilities and know how to mitigate the risk of individual liabilities.

Join in the annual Compliance Conference to gain insights and receive guidance on emerging compliance risks and solutions, implement best practices and strategies, and share ideas with senior legal and compliance professionals.

Event description:
In China, livestreaming and mobile video apps grew in popularity earlier, and far more quickly. This was significant, because it gave a strong cultural foundation, onto which social commerce could build. Social commerce made up 13% of retail e-commerce sales in China in 2021, and the industry is expected to grow by 38.5% on annual basis to reach $363,547.3 million in 2022.

The way people communicate and live their lives has altered considerably and therefore influenced how companies operate and communicate with their clients. The rise of a new consumer class — the affluent, sophisticated, and highly connected millennial — has helped to grow the e-commerce revolution and make China a powerhouse of social commerce.
