Data protection laws are fast evolving in China.  In addition to the existing Cybersecurity Law (“CSL”), the Data Security Law (“DSL”) and the Personal Information Protection Law (“PIPL”) promulgated in 2021 have completed the legal framework in China in the data domain.  The laws act as cornerstones for China’s digitalization economy and may lead to severe legal consequences if violated.
