On 22nd March, 2024, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) officially issued the ‘Provisions on Promoting and Regulating Cross-border Flow of Data’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘New Rules’), revamping the cross-border data transfer rules in place since 2022. The New Rules constituted a much-awaited announcement that is expected to lessen the administrative burdens and cross-border data transfer bottlenecks facing many companies, and provide a more internationalized environment for MNCs as well as Chinese local companies with overseas needs.

After China’s proposal for a ‘Global Data Security Initiative’ in September 2020, China has stepped up its cyber-related legislation in 2021 with an unprecedented speed. This is especially reflected through the promulgation of two data related superordinate laws that will work together with the Cybersecurity Law: one is the Data Security Law (DSL), which came into effect since 1st September 2021, and the other being the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), to be enacted on 1st November 2021.

Despite presenting serious challenges throughout 2020, COVID-19 has not managed to impact the ineluctable roll-out of new, significant pieces of Cybersecurity implementation rules and draft laws in China. One notable release was the draft Data Security Law in July 2020. China’s determination to more-stringently regulate its cyberspace have been paralleled by a doubling of compliance endeavours from foreign businesses in China, which has increased both the cost and the operational burden of doing business, at least in the short-term.
In order to examine how the Cybersecurity Law and the Data Security Draft Law will coexist, and what the long-term impact will be on European companies operating in China, the European Chamber as assembled a distinguished group of government representatives, lawyers, security experts and industry representatives to discuss this topic at its annual Cybersecurity Conference.
