Restrictions on cross-border data transfer have long been a cause for concern for foreign companies operating in China, and the Chinese regulators are seeking to address these concerns by lightening up the onerous requirements for cross-border data transfers.
On 28 September 2023, the Cyber Administration of China ("CAC") issued the Regulations for Standardizing and Promoting Cross-Border Data Flow ("Draft Regulations") to solicit public comments. The Draft Regulations appear to overturn some of their previous requirements in relation to cross-border data transfers. If adopted into law in its current form, the Draft Regulations would:
Create exemptions for many companies that export data or personal information from China in certain common business scenarios from otherwise mandatory data export approval procedures.
Raise the data transfer volume thresholds for the CAC's Security Assessment (a more onerous legal mechanism), and leave transfers of low-volume data to less onerous legal mechanisms.
Allow free trade zones to create "Negative Lists" for cross-border data transfers that are subject to mandatory data export procedures.
Almost half a year has lapsed from the day that the Draft Regulations were publicized, many foreign companies are still waiting for the Draft Regulations to be formally issued. In an official press conference on 5 February 2024, the director of the Department of Foregin Investment Management under the Ministry of Commerce said that the Cyberspace Administration of China is contemplating and improving the Draft Regulations and preparing for its promulgation.
In this webinar, Samuel Yang, Partner at Anjie Broad, will introduce all that you need to know about the Draft Regulations, their implications on your business, as well as observations of how multiple national companies are dealing with a time of uncertainty and their practical considerations.

In this webinar, we will delve into the critical aspects of China’s Cybersecurity Law (CSL) and the China Cybersecurity Classified Protection System (CCPS – formerly known as MLPS)
China’s CCPS is a comprehensive regulatory framework designed to safeguard critical information infrastructure and ensure cybersecurity compliance. It is essential for businesses and organizations operating in China to understand and navigate the complexities of CCPS to protect their operations and reputation effectively. Furthermore, CCPS is a mandatory framework that must be enforced by every company with some companies (CIIO) required to be certified.
Join this webinar with Maxime Oliva, Co-founder and CEO of TEKID, where we will explore the latest developments in China’s cybersecurity landscape. You will gain a deeper understanding of the legal obligations, industry best practices and implementation strategies, and you will be equipped to navigate the CCPS effectively and ensure the resilience and compliance of your critical information systems.

Over the past few years, China has imposed some restrictions on cross-border data transfers. Like the European Commision, the Chinese regulators have recently issued a standard Contract for Personal Information Exports (the Chinese "SCCs"). Qualified companies will need to sign the SCCs, conduct an impact assessment, and file with the Chinese regulators by 30 November 2023. It is important for companies that operate in China to take compliance actions as soon as possible to avoid legal consequences.
In this webinar, our speaker, Samuel Yang, Partner at AnJie Broad Law Firm, will introduce all that you need to know about the SCCs, including:

The digital landscape in China differs significantly for B2B compared to other markets. Moreover, the pandemic has brought about substantial changes, accelerating the digital transformation with B2B in China over recent years.

Consequently, the significance of visibility and crontrolling howyour company and its products/services are presented has grown and, at the same time, become more challenging. This is because everything digital needs to be tailored for China, in China.

The recent investigation of consulting and advisory firms, appearing to be part of an anti-spy campaign, have unsettled the foreign business community in the country and hit the Western media headlines. The campaign seemingly well-timed with the adoption of the revised Anti-Espionage Law on April 26, 2023 provided fodder for the "de-risking" debate.
In this engaging 1-hour webinar we will provide insights around the new law and suggestions from both macro and micro perspectives on foreign business in China. At the end of the webinar, there will be a live Q&A, that will give you the opportunity to ask more in-depth questions.

The EU-China Business Association, BusinessEurope and the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China are pleased to invite you to join this hybrid conference of the European Chamber’s annual Business Confidence Survey, where Mr Jens Eskelund, European Chamber President, will share the key findings of this year’s survey outlining European business sentiment in China.
Venue
Online and Adenauer Room, BusinessEurope, Avenue de Cortenbergh 168, 1000 Brussels
Background
Since China ended its ‘zero-COVID’ strategy, Chinese officials have been on a charm offensive in an attempt to restore the country’s allure as an investment destination. However, more will need to be done if China is to successfully reverse the deterioration of business sentiment that has taken place over the past three years.
European companies have already begun shifting investments overseas and, faced with growing risks and a more volatile operating environment, many have adjusted their investment and operational strategies. There is now an increased focus on making operations more durable — for example, through localisation or diversification of supply chains — as opposed to capturing market share. With China’s economy facing numerous headwinds, this trend appears set to continue at least into the medium-term.

14h30-15h00: Registration and networking
