As China’s firms become globally competitive in data-driven sectors, Beijing has wielded more and more authority over public and private troves of data. We will examine the underlying rationale and potential effects of China’s new data laws: the Data Security Law and draft Personal Information Protection Law.

Our Speakers will be:

• Henry Gao, Associate Professor of Law, Singapore Management University
• Graham Webster, Research Scholar and Editor-in-Chief, DigiChina, Stanford Cyber Policy Center

Moderated by:

Susan Ariel Aaronson, Research Professor and Director, Digital Trade and Data Governance Hub, George Washington University.
