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.

As the regulatory landscape evolves and new challenges arise for companies, general counsels and compliance departments have become increasingly important, helping organisations to adapt. As such, there is significant pressure on compliance professionals to ensure that companies meet their obligations.
The skillset of General Counsels and Compliance officers has had to increase in tandem with the volume and complexity of regulations. Where once compliance officers operated like lawyers, now they also need to be techies with a deep understanding of the technology estate. It is a multi-dimensional challenge.

One thing that is certain about the current business environment, it is that absolutely nothing is certain at all. The world has experienced life-changing disruptions as result of COVID-19 in everything from technology to mobility, to the recent changes in political and economic climates, which have created an air of instability and uncertainty that is felt by consumers and business alike, leading to a number of strategic and operation changes, such as remote working, new procedures, internal reorganization, cost cutting and portfolio adjustments. Volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity are the new status quo. In order to forge ahead, businesses need their people on board, engaged, and confident in the future of their companies.
The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is pleased to invite you to the 2020 edition of the HR Excellence Conference, which will take place on Thursday 3rd September at 9:00am, in Shanghai.
