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.

During these past eight months, the Chairs of the working group overcame difficulties and led the WG to make things happen: the drafting of the Shipbuilding Position Paper was realised, a call with EU DG-Trade counterparts in Brussels discussing the high tech supply chain was initiated, lobby actions advocating for business restart in cruise were taken and comments on the European Commission’s White Paper on Foreign Subsidies has been submitted. To see through our end goal of establishing a level playing field and build a platform for strong EU-China cooperation, more advocacies will need to be carried out in the second half of the year, and we are especially looking forward to the EU-China Shipbuilding Dialogue later this year. In order to realise WG members’ expectation, we would like to meet you and invite you to share your experience, your ideas and perspectives, but most of all to meet each other and have fun.

Let this be an evening to celebrate our commitment and support for each other!
