In terms of data compliance, the security management and assessment of cross-border data transfer has always been a key topic of public concern. On 29th October, the Cyberspace Administration of China released the Measures on Security Assessment of the Cross-border Transfer of Personal Information (Draft for Comments) (Measures) for public consultation, Article 2 of which requires data handlers that provide outside China (a) “important data” that was collected or produced through operations within the territory of China, or (b) personal information where a security assessment is legally required, to conduct a security assessment. Once enacted, the Measures would become a cornerstone of China’s cross-border data transfer security management regime.
On 24th November, the European Chamber welcomes Raymond Wang, partner of Shihui Partners, as he interprets the Measures, including its application scope and key provisions, and provides compliance recommendations for data handlers carrying out cross-border data transfer security management and assessment activities.

While subsidisation and its distorting impact on trade, investment and competitiveness has always been a controversial issue, in the past few years concerns over the potential of foreign subsidies to erode domestic markets and the potential of domestic players to compete at home and abroad have risen to alarming levels – and so have subsidy-related disputes. Countries like the EU, the US and China have exchanged recriminations over their respective subsidy regimes and, in the EU´s case, these rising concerns have led to the rolling out of an instrument aiming to tackle distortive foreign subsidies.

However, so far there has been a lack of comprehensive data on how these different subsidy regimes look like. In order to address this gap, Global Trade Alert (GTA) compiled data on 18,137 corporate subsidies awarded by China, the EU, and the USA since November 2008 in order to develop its 28th GTA Report, which focusses on the subsidy regimes of these three players.

The European Chamber is thus pleased to invite you to join our upcoming event, where GTA Report co-author Professor Simon Evenett will provide an overview of the study. Professor Evenett will be joined by Ms Iana Dreyer, founder of Borderlex, and Professor Henry Gao from the Singapore Management University, who will the European and Chinese perspectives on subsidisation.
