China Proposes to Lighten Up Requirements for Cross-Border Data Transfers
Date: May 07, 2024
Event: Webinar
Time: (9:00-10:00 a.m. DK/3:00-4:00 p.m. CN)
Click here to register (for DCBF, DCCC and DCCHK members only).
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.

Greener Together: New Technology for Reliable Carbon Accounting & Reduction
Date: October 12, 2023
Time: 9:30-11:30 a.m. DK/ 3:30-5:30 p.m. CN
Event: Supported Webinar
This webinar is part of the Greener Together: China-Nordic Dialogue on Carbon Neutrality campaign organised by the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China, FinnCham in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong, the Norwegian Business Association China, and supported by Danish-Chinese Business Forum.
For many businesses, the main hurdles lie in acquiring reliable and traceable data pertaining to their carbon emission activities. Traditional methods often fall short, making it a challenge, if not an impossibility, to obtain first-hand data for accurate calculation and thorough analysis. This is where digital solutions shine, offering a lifeline to enterprises that aim to streamline and automate these processes.
This seminar will introduce the concept of Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO). EEIO serving as an authoritative methodology to estimate and analyze emissions with heightened efficiency. By leveraging this approach, businesses can avoid the complications often associated with conventional carbon accounting standards.
The seminar will delve deep into how new technology can help businesses to harness data for real-time identification of energy-saving opportunities and how to equip and empower your enterprise to make more informed, sustainable, and financially sound decisions regarding carbon management.

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 Chinese cross-border data transfer legal regime: Samuel will introduce the basic legal framework for cross-border data transfers in China, which consists of three "legal paths".
- The SCCs as a legal path: Samuel will explain in detail about the conditions for using the SCCs, what the SCCs entail, and the procedures for the filing.
- Challenges that lie ahead and how to address them: Samuel will then share his insight into the common problems that companies encounter during the filing process based on his rich practical experience.
