As elsewhere, China is responding to the strategic importance of digitalization of economies and businesses. This is not only to ensure effective data usage and data protection but also to help businesses and individuals harness the power of data. Our partners Zhiyi Ren and Jack Li provide a detailed analysis of China’s approach in the China chapter of International Comparative Legal Guide (ICLG) ’s recent publication, Digital Business Laws and Regulations 2024. The China chapter covers 12 topics, including e-commerce regulation, data protection, cybersecurity framework, cultural norms, brand enforcement online, data centers and cloud location, trade and customs and more. They also include a section on the key role of digital technologies in promoting China’s green economy, and their observations on doing businesses as a digital business in different jurisdictions. The article was first published in ICLG’s website: https://iclg.com/practice-areas/digital-business-laws-and-regulations/china.
