In the era of global digitalisation, data security is essential for businesses, especially for those operating in different geographical markets. China has enacted a series of laws and regulations including Measures for the Security Assessment of Cross-Border Data Transfers, the Cybersecurity Law, and the Personal Information Protection Law to further regulate cross-border data transfers.

For European SMEs to successfully expand their business to the country, it is imperative to understand the practical steps to take following the regulations, avoid compliance pitfalls and ensure the lawful, reasonable, and effective use of data.
