Description
Summary:The regulation of data has increasingly become a common feature of trade agreements. While all regulators would agree on the need to strike a balance between the clashing interests of different stakeholders, their approaches often differ in practice. The various regulatory approaches often reflect the different legal, political, economic, social and cultural backgrounds of different countries. Thereby, it is important to understand the inherent logic and mechanisms of the different regulatory regimes.In this chapter, the focus lies on China, which is not only home to the largest e-commerce market in the world, but also has one of the most tightly regulated cyberspaces. By providing a detailed analysis of the rationale and operation of ‘data regulation with Chinese characteristics’, the chapter seeks not only to help understand this discrete regulatory model but also to find ways to deal with such a regime at the international level.
