For over a decade, we have written client alerts on data privacy in China starting with the sentence: China does not have a comprehensive set of data privacy laws. Well that is finally no longer the case. There are now 3 foundational laws which make up a data regulatory framework - the 2017 Cybersecurity Law which primarily governs network security, the Data Security Law (see our earlier article) passed in June and effective 1 September focusing on national security and non-personal data, and the most recent Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) passed 21 August and effective 1 November addressing personal information protection more akin to Europe's GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
